What should I do if I suspect an invalid will?

If you suspect that an estate planning will is invalid, you should take action right away. Depending on the circumstances, there may be legal steps that must be taken in order to prevent the estate planning document from being used. If you believe that a will is not valid, the first step is to contact an attorney who specializes in estate planning law in Nebraska. An experienced lawyer can review the document and help you determine if it is, in fact, an invalid will. Also, an attorney can inform you of the rights you may have under Nebraska law and any necessary steps to contest the validity of the will in court. If the will is found to be invalid, the court may order that the document be set aside. This means that the will would no longer be valid and the assets of the estate would be distributed in accordance with the laws of intestacy in Nebraska. It is important to take legal action as soon as possible if you suspect an invalid will. The longer you wait, the greater risk you could face if the will is used to split up the estate before the validity has been challenged.
