The process of invalidating a will in New York can be a complicated and emotional task. There are several legal grounds on which a will can be challenged, including lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, mistake, and revocation.
If someone bequeathed a substantial asset to you in their will, you might know that New York law allows you to classify the inheritance as separate property. This means that, if it retains separate property status, you would maintain full ownership even if you and your spouse decide to divorce.
The will must be in writing and signed by you, the testator, at the end of the will. You must sign your will in the presence of at least two witnesses, who do not receive anything under your will. At the time you are signing your will you are to state to the witnesses that you are signing your will.
