Service Details

Contest a Will

This service is available across Lithuania

Who Is This Service For?

  • This service for contesting a Will in Lithuania is for individuals who believe they have been unjustly treated or omitted in a will. 
  • Common clients include family members or dependents who feel the testament does not reflect the testator's true intentions or is invalid due to undue influence, fraud, or incapacity. 
  • In addition, in Lithuania, a child of the deceased may have a right to a portion of the estate in a system known as forced heirs, and any failure to inherit the minimum portion assigned by law, could give rise to a right to contest the Will.
  • The problems faced often revolve around navigating the complex legal terrain, emotional stress, and potential family discord. 
  • Our service aims to alleviate these issues by providing expert legal guidance, managing the entire contestation process, and striving for a fair resolution that honours the true wishes of the deceased.
