Learn about will contests, including requirements for a valid will, proper timing, procedures, and grounds for contesting a will. Will contests can be emotional and dramatic, in and out of court. Although many California decedents use living trusts, and many do no estate planning at all, wills remain an important tool; and a complex network of statutes governs their validity, and the process by which they are admitted to probate, as well as the process for contesting them.
This program will introduce the audience to the procedures and the substantive law concerning will contests. The educational objectives for this course will include being able to identify the requirements for a valid will, the proper timing and procedures for contesting a will, as well as general familiarity with the substantive grounds on which a will can be contested.
