Wills and other estate planning documents are always subject to challenge, however the standard to overturn such documents is very high. The will should be examined carefully to ensure that it is valid and all circumstances surrounding its creation should be considered. Also, some provisions in wills may not be valid, or may be superceded by other protections afforded to parties such as minor children or surviving spouses.
