Contested Probate: Protect Your Rights in New Jersey with Expert Legal Support

Facing the prospect of contested probate can be daunting and emotionally draining.

At Joshua G. Curtis Law, we understand the challenges you face and are here to provide the expert legal support you need to navigate contested probate in New Jersey.

Why Contest Probate?

Contesting probate is not just about challenging the distribution of assets; it’s about ensuring that the estate is administered according to the true intentions of the deceased and in compliance with New Jersey law. There are several reasons why you might consider contesting probate, including:

• Executor Misconduct: If you believe the executor is mishandling the estate, such as misappropriating assets or failing to follow the will’s instructions, you may have grounds to contest the probate process.
• Fraudulent or Invalid Will: If a will is suspected to be fraudulent, forged, or created under duress, it is essential to challenge its validity to protect the estate and ensure fair distribution.
• Lack of Testamentary Capacity: The deceased must have been of sound mind when creating their will. If there is evidence that the will was made when the deceased lacked mental capacity, it could be declared invalid.
• Undue Influence: If someone exerted undue influence over the deceased, leading to an unfair distribution of assets, contesting probate can help rectify the situation.
• Errors in Estate Administration: Clerical errors, misinterpretation of the will, or failure to follow proper legal procedures can all lead to a contested probate.
