Contesting a Will: A will can be contested if heirs believe that the will was made under duress, the testator was not of sound mind, or the will was improperly executed. Heirs may challenge the will in court to try to secure a larger share of the estate.
Disputes Between Family Members: Disagreements about how property should be divided can arise among family members. The probate court handles these disputes, and they may need to resolve questions about the validity of the will, the interpretation of its provisions, or the division of assets.
