Will Contests
A will contest is a formal objection raised against the validity of a will, based on the contention that the will does not reflect the actual intent of the testator. Will contests generally focus on the assertion that the testator lacked testamentary capacity, was operating under an insane delusion, or was subject to undue influence, coercion or fraud. A will may be challenged in its entirety, or only in part by a beneficiary or an heir who would inherit from the testator if the will was invalid.
