Unfortunately, even well-drafted wills can lead to bitter family disputes. After a loved one passes away, families are often split over inheritance disputes. Allegations of undue influence or lack of mental capacity can divide families for a lifetime.

At Schneider & Onofry, P.C., we have extensive experience handling contested wills in probate litigation. The attorneys in our law firm have substantial experience pursuing claims of undue influence. We also aggressively represent heirs, beneficiaries, and personal representatives accused of influencing the direction of the will for their own benefit.

Our law firm is committed to preserving the intentions of a will. When the validity of a will is in question, our firm's estate administration attorneys investigate the facts to develop convincing legal arguments and safeguard our clients' interests. We have extensive experience handling a variety of allegations, including:

  • Lack of mental capacity — The attorneys at our firm are prepared to prove individuals did not have the mental capacity to execute a will. There are also cases involving a lack of mental capacity if a family member suffered from dementia or Alzheimer's disease, limiting their ability to remember family members.
  • Undue influence — If someone used their power to influence the direction of the will, we can fight to challenge validity of the will. Some confidential relationships or decisions made without other family members knowing can be tied to undue influence.
  • Fraud allegations — Our legal team is prepared to pursue fraud allegations or defend individuals accused of using their fiduciary power to misappropriate funds. We also handle situations involving concerns the will was replaced by a later will.

At Schneider & Onofry, P.C., we are prepared to litigate any conflicts of interest or suspicious behavior. With our litigation experience, we are often able to give a realistic budget for litigation at a very early point in the case.
