Wills; Caveat; Sound Mind; Conflict of Interest
The Firm was retained on behalf of the executrix and beneficiary of a substantial estate. When she filed the testator's Will for probate, a beneficiary of a prior Will filed a caveat, contending that the deceased had been of unsound mind when he executed the second Will. After successfully disqualifying opposing counsel for a conflict of interest, the opposing party withdrew the caveat, and the Firm's Client received the full amount of her inheritance.
