New Jersey Will Contests, Trust Disputes and Probate 

It's an old tale. Ever since the ancient laws of primogeniture (eldest son gets it all) were swept away by the personal right to make a will, heirs have objected to even the best made wills and trusts. Conflicts can arise before or during the probate of an estate.

The fact that a person leaves a will does not guarantee that property will be distributed according to the expressed terms in the will. A court generally must provide an opportunity to allow others to object to the will, and a challenge may be brought by anyone who feels the will is inaccurate or invalid in some way.
