Estate Disputes and Will Contests in Georgia
Generally, estate litigation arises when changes are made to a will that exclude a beneficiary included on a previous will or when a new beneficiary is added to a will. This will raise questions as to the validity of the will, particularly if there are concerns as to the mental capacity of the person making the will. Other possible challenges made to the validity of a will offered for probate include questions as to whether the testator was under undue influence or duress at the time the will was signed. Fraud is also a ground to invalidate a will. There could be issues as to whether the will was executed with all of the formalities required by Georgia Law.
Filing an objection to the validity of a will or the executor named in a will is extremely time sensitive and it is essential to contact a skilled probate attorney right away to ensure your rights are fully protected.
In Georgia, the spouse or minor child of a person who passed away may be entitled to certain payments out of the estate even if excluded from a valid will.
