Contesting A Trust
What is Contesting A Trust?
Contesting a trust means legally challenging its validity or specific terms when you believe something's wrong—like your loved one was manipulated, lacked mental capacity, or was coerced into signing. Common grounds include undue influence by caregivers or family members, lack of capacity due to dementia or medication, fraud or forgery, or violation of the trust's own terms. These cases are time-sensitive—California law gives you limited windows to challenge depending on the circumstances—and they require strong evidence and aggressive legal action to overcome the presumption that the trust is valid.
How We Support You:
Aggressive litigation strategy that challenges the trust's validity head-on and doesn't back down when opposing parties try to intimidate or delay
Thorough investigation gathering medical records, witness statements, and financial documentation that proves something was wrong when the trust was created or changed
Skilled negotiation that secures favorable settlements when possible—recovering your rightful inheritance without years of court battles
Why Us?
When you know something's wrong with a trust—your parent was confused, a sibling manipulated them, or the documents don't reflect what they really wanted—you need attorneys who'll fight to uncover the truth. At NewPoint Law Group, we've handled cases where caregivers isolated vulnerable people and rewrote their trusts, where family members forged signatures, and where dementia patients were pressured into disinheriting their own children. We know how to build these cases—tracking down medical evidence of incapacity, finding witnesses who saw the manipulation, and following money trails that expose what really happened. The people defending these trusts will fight dirty because they're protecting their windfall. We fight harder. We take depositions that expose lies, bring in experts who dismantle their arguments, and present evidence judges can't ignore. Trust contests have strict deadlines, so we move fast to preserve your rights and gather evidence before it disappears. This isn't about being vindictive—it's about honoring what your loved one truly wanted before someone took advantage of them.
