competent at the time they drafted or signed the will? Was the will
maker pressured by someone to agree to the terms of the will? Does the
will maker have another will or trust that would trump this one? Was
the will properly witnessed or signed? Was the will maker tricked or
fraudulently exploited? Did an outside party change the will? If you

of a will is limited to two classes of persons includes those who are
named on the face of the will (i.e. any beneficiary) and those who
would inherit from the testator if the will was invalid.
