Re: who pays?
The contestor must be prepared to cover the fees and for the probability that such fees are not reimburseable, but if the contest is successful the contestor can move to have attorney fees reimbursed out of the proceeds of the estate.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
