I was in Lincoln, Nebraska the other week to watch Nebraska play the Miami Hurricanes Football team. I can honestly say that the people from Nebraska were polite, inviting, and very friendly. But as this recent,September, 2014 probate litigation case reveals, they also sue people for undue influence. This recent case may be of interest to anyone who is involved in a probate or a will contest or will challenge. This case has nothing to do with the University of Miami.
March, 2011 Will Invalid Based Upon Undue Influence
- Probate Court finds the March 2011 will of no force and effect
- The March 2011 will was the result of UNDUE INFLUENCE and was void
- The prior will, the September 2010 will, was valid
- Johanna lost her husband and her son; she had siblings but they lived far away and only visited her twice in 40 years
- Lorenz befriended Johanna
- September, 2010 will: to Johanna’s siblings
- 2009: Dementia
- 2010: guardianship filed
- March 11, 2011: Johanna signs another will leaving ENTIRE ESTATE to Johanna
- Lorenz objects to 2010 will
- Siblings versus Lorenz
- Any Probate Lawyer Palm Beach will tell you that a guardianship action filed is a red flag
- Are you a family member defending the will against a will contest or will challenge?
- Are you the executor of the will that was proper?
