Contest a Trust & Will in California - Gokal Law Group Attorneys

Contesting Invalid Trusts & Wills

There are a number of reasons why a party may contest the validity of a will or trust. A court could find that a will is invalid because a beneficiary took advantage of an elderly person, resulting in severe penalties, or it could be the result of errors made at the trust or will’s creation.

Other reasons why a trust and will contest could be in order include not meeting the proper legal requirements to be valid, if the will is revoked, or if the will is forged. If you are suspicious about the validity of a trust or will, contact Gokal Law Group for a case evaluation immediately.
