-
Unclear Wills – Sometimes a Will doesn’t make sense or does not say what you thought it did. There are various options on how to resolve the uncertainty.

Disputes of Capacity or Undue Influence – Dealing with questions that arise about a will-maker’s capacity to make a Will or if they were coerced or unduly influenced in making a Will.
