Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland

contest

Will is filed and recorded and leaves all to one child of six,the one child verbally expresed dividing the settled estate equally among all the others, and now is refusing.

Is their a letter of instrument that could be signed by that one individual and be valid in the court that would be availabe, and if so what form would that be ?

If no said form, do we have to contest the will?

Are there any other avenues to pursue?

Thankyou

Re: contest

I would say that you have to contest the will, I do not believe that there is any document that the one child will want to sign, especially if they have said they are not going to share the proceeds from the will.

AS for contesting the will, a lawyer will best be able to help you in doing so.
