Are you challenging a will in Wisconsin? People named in the current or a previous will as a beneficiary, executor or trustee all have the authority to contest a will in Wisconsin.

What Is Contested Probate?

Our experienced lawyers will guide your case toward a successful outcome.

Contested probate occurs when a party named in a will challenges a provision within the will or the validity of the will itself. Examples include a beneficiary disputing asset distribution or challenging the appointment of the estate’s representative.

In some contested probate cases, an heir may challenge the validity or accuracy of a will or claim destruction of a will. Whenever a will is contested, no matter the reason, formal probate proceedings are required by law.

Niebler Pyzyk lawyers work to validate wills and trusts, verify heirs and resolve probate disputes responsibly.

Common Types of Probate Disputes

• Is the will valid?
• Did the testator understand what they were signing?
  Did someone unduly influence the testator in making the will?
• Is the estate’s executor or personal representative fulfilling their obligations?
• Do any heirs feel estate funds are being wasted or mishandled?
• Do trustees or personal representatives have difficulty interpreting vague provisions in estate documents?
• Should the trustee make a distribution from the trust to beneficiaries?

Fees for a Contested Probate

Attorney fees for contested probate cases are typically based on an hourly rate. The total amount varies depending on the complexity of the case. Our Milwaukee contested wills and probate lawyers provide the experience and resources of much larger firms without fees.
