FAQ: Estate Litigation
On what grounds can a will be challenged?+
Common grounds include lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, improper execution, fraud, and failure to provide for a dependant (jurisdiction-specific).
What's the deadline to challenge a will?+
Limitation periods vary by province and state — often two years from the date of death or from when you discovered the issue. Act early; an estate lawyer can confirm your deadline.
Who pays the lawyer in a will dispute?+
Sometimes the estate pays both sides if the challenge was reasonable; other times the losing party pays. A litigator can assess your costs exposure upfront.
