​Challenging a will is very complex and requires a probate attorney’s representation. The process is time-consuming, costly, and emotionally draining, so contesting a will is only recommended when you are absolutely sure your situation warrants all that is required to contest a will in California.


Wills are legally binding documents. And, because the will doesn’t go into effect until the testator (person creating the will) has died, probate courts are exceptionally conservative regarding changing the original testator’s (now decedent) stated intentions.
