Over the past several years, there has been a substantial increase in the amount of will contests and trust contests in the various Surrogate’s Courts of the State of New York.
This increase relates to the fact that demographics of families have changed considerably. There are multiple spouses with first, second, even third marriages and children from this multiplicity of marriages, not to mention children who are born out of wedlock. As a result, the ex-spouses and step-children very often have disagreements over family matters, financial matters and other issues which give rise to contests of a decedent’s estate.
