Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
My husbands grandmother left her entire estate to him, now the family is contesting the will. She was diagnosed with alzheimers in 2008, and made her will in 2008. She continued to live alone and take care of herself for the next 4 years, but the family says she didn't know what she was doing. Do you think the judge will make the will invalid? She passed away in Feb of 2013.

Very tough cases both ways. He needs to hire a skilled probate attorney to defend the will against attack. Otherwise, it will be tossed. I would be happy to discuss the matter. Tim Klisz kliszlaw.com
I have extensive experience dealing with such matters. The fact that she was diagnosed with alzheimers creates a red flag, however, the burden to prove that his grandmother was suffering from dementia to the point that it effected her ability to place her wishes in the will is on the people contesting same. Thus, being diagnosed is not enough. Please contact me to discuss in more detail at www.johntatone.com or 888-988-LAWS (5297)
