NY estates planning & probate attorney Russel Morgan, Esq. explains how a will is contested in New York. He explains that a will contest can be pursued on several grounds, including lack of testamentary capacity, fraud, duress, coercion, or improper execution. His firm handles numerous will contests, and while anyone who stands to inherit has the right to challenge a will, that does not guarantee success. He represents clients on both sides of these disputes—defending wills to enforce them and challenging wills to have them invalidated.
