The authenticity of a will is one of the most frequently contested matters in estate litigation. If a will cannot be proved genuine and legitimate, questions arise as to the true intent of the decedent. If a will was composed under duress, undue influence, or pressure, the court cannot rely on the document to express the true intentions of the person who has passed on.
During probate, beneficiaries of a will may have disputes with the Will’s executor over the title ownership of real property or personal property.
