Advokat, advokater, advokatbistand, advokathjaelp
The cases where an Advokat is contesting wills on behalf of family members and other heirs and named beneficiaries are increasing, as more people are contesting wills that they feel are unfair or were drawn up using coercion or deceit. Another common reason a will is contested is if the loved ones believe that the deceased was not in their right frame of mind when the will was prepared. Just since the year 2004 the number of contested wills in European countries has tripled. Just because a will is considered unfair to family members, this does not mean that they can successfully contest it. As long as they are in the right frame of mind and not suffering any mental defect or illness, a person generally has the right to leave their estate to whomever they wish. An advokat should be consulted any time a will is believed to be unjust or signed under duress or mental illness, so that possible heirs know what their options are. Usually wills are contested by spouses, children, and others who are dependent on the deceased, and each specific case is different, with different factors and circumstances.
