Representing Executors, Administrators, Beneficiaries and Heirs
The probate of a will or the administration of a trust does not always proceed as hoped. Problems can result from the mistakes in initial estate planning documents, from out-of-date estate planning assumptions, or from undue influence in the drafting of the will.
At Turner Law, we provide knowledgeable legal assistance to individuals, families and trust clients in Decatur, the greater Atlanta area and throughout Georgia.
Georgia Will Contests
In Georgia, wills can be contested for a number of reasons:
- The will was not properly executed or witnessed.
- The deceased person was not competent when he or she signed the will.
- The deceased person was manipulated or unduly influenced by someone else, such as their caregiver.
Lawyer Robert Turner represents both administrators and executors of wills, as well as heirs and beneficiaries who contest the will.
