What is "Capacity" to Sign Estate Planning Documents?
Estate planning documents can lead to all sorts of issues among those left behind.

Occasionally, somebody isn't happy with what they received according to the will or trust that the deceased created prior to their death. And some folks just want to cause issues with family members they don't deem worthy of the assets they are receiving.

This usually leads to that upset person challenging the will or trust in court, and the main mode of attack is to say that the person didn't have the capacity to execute the documents. The law states that a will executed without said capacity isn't valid.
