What Is Undue Influence?
The outcome of a will contest hinges on fine distinctions in the facts and law regarding "undue influence." Just because someone changed a will late in life does not indicate that undue influence was used to motivate that change. In addition, New York law has a very low threshold regarding the mental capacity of the person at the time the will is drawn.
Roy A. List will carefully review all aspects of your case and provide you with an objective assessment of your situation. If you choose our firm to represent you, we will assertively represent you at all stages of the legal process.
