If there are legitimate questions about the validity of a will, a will contest should be brought promptly. In virtually all states, there are specific time limits on the right to contest a will.

The typical objections are:

• the will was not properly drawn, signed or witnessed, according to the state’s formal requirements;
• the decedent lacked mental capacity at the time the will was executed;
• there was fraud, force or undue influence; or the Will was a forgery.
