- Q. If a named beneficiary in a Will is already deceased, has no spouse and no dependents where/who does the benefits go?
- A: The exact outcome depends on the specific wording of the Will, the laws of the jurisdiction where the Will is being probated, and the particular circumstances of the case. To determine the precise distribution in a specific situation, it would be advisable to consult with a local estate planning attorney. Feel free to reach out for a consultation.
- Q. Contest & objection to will same? adding evidence such as a prenup to the will that was probated in Georgia contesting?
- A: In Georgia, introducing a prenup as evidence to a probated will isn't automatically a contest.
Will contest: Formal challenge to will validity (e.g., lack of capacity, undue influence)
Objection: Less formal concern about specific provisions of a will or administration
Adding evidence (prenup):
During probate: May be considered additional information
After probate conclusion: Challenging, subject to time limits
Purpose: Could be seen as objection or contest, depending on intent
