When a probate court rules a will is invalid, it’s usually because it was not signed or adequately witnessed. Sometimes, wills can be contested if a party argues that they were forced or coerced into signing it. When these scenarios occur, a Maryland court may:
Follow the intentions laid out in a previous will
Invalidate the current will and pass the property through intestacy
This is why it’s vital that you carefully go through the steps of drafting your valid will, paying mind to your witnesses’ age and physical presence during the signing. FindLaw’s forms avoid any oversights, asking you the right questions to address your specific needs.
