Legal Question in Elder Law in New Jersey

Re: Alzheimer's

Your case will not be an easy case but it is possible to try and prove that your grandmother was incompetent at the time her new will was signed. Medical records and more likely than not medical testimony will be necessary. If you would like to discuss your case further, please give me a call 732-286-2170.

Re: Alzheimer's

It sounds like you have every reason to be concerned. You can challenge whether your grandmoter was competent at the time she signed the new will. You may not be able to recover the real estate, but you may be able to preserve the proceeds of the real estate sales in her proper estate.

Feel free to contact my office with additional details. In any case, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Re: Alzheimer's

The standard for diminished capacity in a will case is lower than that of mental competency in a guardian matter, so there it is possible that she was of sound mind. However, there are enough suspicious circumstances and a confidential relationship, which under the law, provide for a potential case against the boyfriend, particularly if your goal is to protect your grandmother's money for her care, and not merely for you as a potential heir. My office would be willing to meet with you in person, or via phone. The consulation is free. If it is not geographically convenient, we will be able to make a referral. I look forward to hearing from you.
