How can someone contest a trust in Florida?
July 23, 2026 – Daniel A. Seigel
Contesting a trust in Fort Lauderdale involves initiating judicial proceedings as outlined in Florida Statute 736.0201. To contest a trust, an interested party must file a formal complaint with the court, detailing the grounds for the challenge, such as lack of capacity, undue influence, or fraud. The court will then review the case, and the proceedings will follow the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. A skilled trust litigation attorney can guide you through the process and pursue a favorable resolution.
