NY Estate Planning Attorney Discusses Grounds for Contesting a Will

As an experienced New York Estate Planning Attorney, I often get questions from clients regarding the grounds for contesting a will in New York.

There are 4 grounds for contesting a will;

  • The first ground is lack of due execution
  • The second ground is lack of testamentary capacity
  • The third ground is undue influence
  • The fourth ground is duress, when a person is forced to sign a will against their consent.

Are you considering contesting a will in New York?  If so, contact experienced New York Estate Planning Attorney Robert Friedman for dedicated representation.
