Anatomy of a Will Contest: Objections and Relevant Discovery

 

Discovery will typically be tailored to the nature of the objections to probate that are asserted in the objection to probate.

Once a person decides to object to the probate of a will, the objectant will typically file an objection to probate of the will. Depending on the jurisdiction, the specific pleading will need to set out, at least generally, the basis for the objections. Once a responsive pleading objecting to the probate of the will has been filed, the proponent of the will (or any other interested party) may make a motion to dismiss the objection on applicable grounds. This video reviews the steps in the discovery phase of objections and the relevant documents needed and discusses red flags for identifying potentially incapacitated or unduly influenced persons.
