About Will Disputes

When there is a dispute over a will, emotions tend to run high and significant tension can arise among family members, friends and other interested parties.  These types of disputes often involve substantial amounts of money and property and they can be very difficult to sort out and resolve on your own.

If there is a disagreement over a will and how to interpret the wishes of the deceased, all interested parties have the right to file a legal challenge to the will.  Time is of essence in will contest cases.  There are very strict deadlines associated with these types of claims and it is important to be aware you do not have to wait until a will is admitted to probate in order to  file a will contest suit.  

If you are involved in a dispute over a will you should discuss your situation with an experienced Fort Myers will contests lawyer.  The legal team at SW Florida Probate Trial Lawyers represents beneficiaries, heirs, personal representatives and other interested parties in significant will contests cases.  Our lawyers are experienced trial attorneys who know what it takes to analyze, prepare and litigate these complex claims.  We draw upon our background as accomplished litigators to thoroughly investigate the case and formulate strategies aimed at protecting the legal rights and interests of our clients.
