Who Can Contest a Will in Minnesota?

Most will contests are begun by spouses or children of the decedent. However, not just anyone can challenge a will in Minnesota. The law states that only those with proper standing, i.e. heirs and other beneficiaries, can raise a challenge. In addition, anyone mentioned in the will for the purpose of being disinherited is legally allowed to contest it.

Grounds for Contesting a Will

Wills are legally binding documents, therefore, simply being disappointed in your inheritance is not reason enough to challenge one. Examples of valid grounds for contesting a will include:

• Incapacity

• Coercion

• Fraud

• An invalid will

If you believe you have a reasonable argument to contest a will, reach out to us at McGraw Law Firm, P.A. We’re ready to guide you through the legal process toward a solution that allows your family to move forward.

Common Business Litigation Actions

If you’re a business professional in the Twin Cities area, tell us if you’re in the middle of a legal battle involving any of the following issues:

• Breach of contract. When a dispute arises from a business or commercial agreement, we’re able to give you a thorough analysis of each side’s rights and duties. From there, we’ll help you seek an appropriate solution under the terms of the contract or through the civil justice system.

• Business tort. In cases of fraud, interference with contractual or business relationships, or other tort allegations, we can conduct a thorough investigation to determine if the requisite elements exist. After receiving an evaluation of liability and damages issues, you’ll be able to make an informed choice about how to proceed.
