When a will is disputed, the resulting emotional and legal battles can severely impact families and estates. Whether you question the validity of a will or are defending its terms, Perez‑Roura Law provides experienced, strategic representation. We handle all phases—from case evaluation and investigation through litigation—to uphold estate integrity and ensure testator intentions are honored under Florida probate law.

Grounds for Challenging a Will

Florida recognizes specific grounds for contesting a will, including lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, duress, forgery, or procedural non-compliance. We conduct thorough reviews—evaluating medical records, witness accounts, and estate history—to identify evidence supporting these challenges. Our meticulous approach helps present compelling cases for invalidating the document and securing fair share for rightful heirs.

Investigations into Fraud, Coercion, or Forgery

Sometimes, wills are manipulated or falsified. We work with forensic experts—including handwriting analysts, medical professionals, and financial investigators—to gather proof. Whether protecting elderly clients from caregiver coercion or verifying signatures on contested documents, Perez‑Roura Law’s investigative rigor ensures that contests are based on credible, persuasive evidence admissible in court.

Addressing Procedural Deficiencies

Florida law requires strict formalities for wills—signed by competent testators, witnessed correctly, and notarized as required under the Florida Probate Code. Even minor lapses can render a will void. We analyze these formal requirements and, when necessary, challenge wills that do not comply—such as unsigned pages, missing witnesses, or improper notarization—ensuring technical errors cannot override testamentary intent.

Defending Valid Wills Against Contest Claims

If you’re an executor or beneficiary defending a will’s validity, Perez‑Roura Law offers skillful opposition to challenge attempts. We gather evidence of capacity, address allegations of influence, assess signer motivations, and advocate to preserve the testator’s true intentions. Our proactive defense ensures that valid wills stand—and that executors can proceed without costly disputes derailing estate administration.

Litigation Strategy and Resolution Options

Will contests can take many forms—mediation, negotiation, or courtroom trial. We evaluate potential outcomes and costs, proposing the best path forward. When possible, we seek settlements that honor testator wishes and reduce family conflict. If trial is necessary, our litigation team has courtroom experience to present depositions, expert testimony, and legal arguments decisively before Florida probate judges.

Protecting Your Rights, Relationships, and Legacy

Challenging a will involves more than legal claims—it affects relationships, emotions, and family dynamics. Perez‑Roura Law approaches these cases with a balanced mix of legal strength and emotional insight. We communicate clearly, guide clients through expectations, and protect both legal and personal interests. Our goal is to achieve resolutions that respect loved ones and reflect a fair interpretation of the testator’s values.
