Apple Law Firm PLLC represents individuals and families in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas in Florida Probate and Litigation. Our Florida Probate Attorneys and Florida Probate Lawyers work with clients in Florida and with Florida Probate Administration and Disputes.

Our Florida Probate Lawyers work with clients on Florida Probate litigation matters including will contests. Under current Florida Law, a Florida Will must comply with the statute of wills. The most common disputes in Florida Will contests involve:

Mistake in Execution. A Florida will is not valid unless the Florida will:

• Is signed by the testator at the end of the will;
• The testator's signature is witnessed or acknowledged in the presence of two witnesses; and
• And the witnesses must sign the Florida will in the presence of the testator and the other witnesses.

Undue Influence. A Florida will may be invalid if the person making the Florida will did not create the will or modify the will freely or was coerced by a person who was in a position of trust and control.

Lack of Capacity. A Florida Will may be invalid if when the Florida Will was executed the testator or creator did not have the required mental ability to understand:

• The amount and nature of the property;
• Who would have normally received the property; and
• How the Florida Will dispose of the property
