There are many legal reasons why a will may not be enforceable as it is written. Lack of capacity is one of them; the law requires that the decedent be of sound mind, capable of reasoning and making decisions about the estate. The law also prevents the enforcement of wills that were written as the result of undue influence, mistake or fraud.
What Happened to the Estate? When an Accounting is Necessary.
Sometimes, probate litigation is also necessary when assets that should be in the estate have disappeared. When this happens, the will is admitted to probate, but there must be an accounting to account for what happened to the assets. Having an attorney who is skilled in probate litigation can be a huge benefit under these circumstances.
Once probate is granted, it's too late. If you think that the disposition of the estate is in any way unfair, it is critical that you talk with an attorney now. Once probate has been granted, there is often nothing a person can do to get his or her rightful part of the estate.
