A will and a testament are legal forms to ensure that your estate gets divided the way you desire. The person who owns the estate (money and belongings) is called the 'testator'. Without a will your estate is wide open to conflicts, problems, and lawsuits. For example your relatives may have a huge dispute over the property, which will lead to lengthy court proceedings and legal fees for lawyers.

Although there are many benefits to having a last will and testament and no matter how well an individual's last will and testament may be drafted, there still may arise conflicts leading to legal litigations of the will or testament. Reasons might be that the will is perceived as an unfair distribution of assets or property, or that family members feel they are unfairly being left out of the dispersal of assets. Or the validity of the will may be disputed because of possible forgery, undue influence, the mental state of the deceased at the time of drafting or amending the will, or other types of claims which may warrant an action of a contested will in probate. One of the most direct ways to question a Last Will and Testament is to prove that it was not properly signed by the testator (the person who made his or her Last Will and Testament).The person challenging the Last Will and Testament has to prove that it was not signed in accordance with Florida law, which requires skilled and careful cross-examination and therefore an attorney experienced in Will and Testament Disputes.
