Helping You Contest A Deed Transfer
Estate planning is one of the most important things you can do for your loved ones. A well-drafted will or any other estate planning tool lets you plan who will inherit what and under what terms and conditions. If you die without a will or intestate, New York State law will direct who will inherit your property, cars or other valuables.
Most times the transfer of property goes very smoothly. The will’s writer makes a sound judgment, specifies who will inherit the family home and the will is properly and duly witnessed. After the decedent has passed away, the terms of the property transfer are honored in one of many types of deed transfer.

The Battle Over A Contested Will
There are a number of grounds for contesting a will, including:
- The will’s signature is fraudulent: The will’s writer thought he or she was signing some other document and did not realize the will was being changed.
- The will was not properly witnessed.
- The will’s writer was unduly influenced by someone who stood to gain an inheritance, for example, a caregiver.
- The will’s writer didn’t understand what he or she was signing, that is, he or she lacked testamentary capacity.
