What is contested probate?

Our experienced probate attorneys will guide your case toward a successful outcome.

Contested probate is when a party named in a will contests some provision within a will or the validity of the will itself. Examples of possible contests include a beneficiary challenging either the asset distribution or the appointed representative of the estate.

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

Niebler Pyzyk Milwaukee probate attorneys 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 based on an hourly rate. The total amount can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case.
