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.

Requirements

To avail of this service, the client should have a legitimate interest or claim against a Will in Lithuania.
The law in Lithuania does not impose nationality restrictions on who can contest a Will, making this service accessible to both residents and non-residents.

Procedure

The procedure to contest a Will in Lithuania begins with an in-depth analysis of the testament and the circumstances surrounding its creation.
Following this, a legal claim is prepared and filed in the competent court.
The process may involve negotiations with other parties, gathering and presenting evidence to support the claim, and attending court hearings.
Throughout the procedure, our legal team will maintain close communication with the client, ensuring they are well-informed and prepared for each stage of the legal journey.
