Will Contests
The Estate and Trust Attorney as well as the Trial attorneys at Gerstein Grayson & Cohen are also available to advise and represent individuals who wish to contest the validity of a Will because they believe that a Will does not accurately reflect the intent of the testator or that the testator was unduly influenced by another person. Undue influence of a testator happens in many different contexts. In view of these circumstances, the knowledge and experience the Estate Trust attorney of Gerstein Grayson & Cohen can help you obtain the funds and property to which you are entitled.
Causes of action also arise when the holder of a Power of Attorney wrongly uses his or her power under a Power of Attorney and acts for his or her own financial benefit and not that of the person for which he or she is acting for. Many times causes of action arise after a person dies because the Executor or Trustee fails to follow the Will or Trust or fails to make the required distributions.
