Was an Ohio Family Member Subjected to Undue Influence When Revising a Will?
Contact a Probate Litigation Lawyer at The DiCello Firm
It may be alleged that a will was revised under undue influence when the person making the will (the testator) was weak of health and/or weak of mind. If you or your family has experienced financial loss after your relative wrote a new will apparently under undue influence in Ohio, contact The DiCello Firm
Do You Have a Case Worth Taking to Probate Court?
Furthermore, you may have a case worth pursuing through litigation if it can be shown that you, who would otherwise have been an heir or beneficiary, were wrongly bypassed in the stream of inheritance as a result of undue influence that your family member was under.
When Should a Family Estate-Related Dispute Lead to Legal Action?
Family feuds over money left by a deceased loved one are never pleasant or easily mended. We do not encourage our clients to sue brothers, sisters or other close family members over estates. However, clients who come to us alleging undue influence have typically reached the point of believing that something seriously wrong has transpired. "I just want to be treated fairly. I know that Grandma would have wanted this to be handled fairly," they often say.
You Know It if You Have Been Significantly Wronged
If you are the aggrieved party in a will contest or in the course of probate litigation, you are most likely aware that you have been "damaged" as a result of fraud or undue influence. You may believe that your drive to "right the wrong" is in fact a way to honor your deceased relative. Our Ohio lawyers represent many family members in contested estate cases.
