Re: last testament

I will assume that you are concerned about someone contesting your will after you die. As you can imagine, there isn�t much you can do after you have passed away. However, you can purchase someone�s silence. Ask your attorney to draft your will with language similar to this� � To Bob, I give $200,000 unless Bob contests this will. If Bob contests this will, then Bob forfeits this gift.� In this scenario, you are in essence purchasing Bob�s agreement not to contest the will in exchange for $200,000. There are other will-drafting techniques, though nothing is bulletproof. You should discuss your concerns and fears with your attorney.
