A will contest occurs when an heir or interested party challenges the validity of a deceased person’s will. Common reasons include claims of fraud, undue influence, or lack of mental capacity when the will was executed.
If a will is contested, the probate court evaluates evidence, including witness statements and documentation, to determine the will’s validity. Disputes can delay probate and complicate asset distribution.
