Just days after the death of actor Gary Coleman multiple
Wills have surfaced. The childhood star famous for his role as Arnold in the television
series Diff’rent Strokes left an estate that appears poised to be disputed by his ex-wife, his former manager, and a mystery woman.  You can read more details here.

The will asserted by his ex-wife, or now common law wife as she asserts, was not witnessed and will therefore not likely be accepted by a court as valid.  Will challenges are not limited to the rich an famous.  They just are the ones that make the headlines. The overwhelming majority of will disputes you are not likely to ever hear about, like this one recently decided by the Mississippi Court of Appeals.  One thing is certain.  You do not get a second chance to fix your estate, and challenges are not likely to arise until it is too late to do anything about it.  That is why it is so important to make sure your estate is planned and executed properly.  While there are lots of free and low-cost solutions available, the only way you can have certainty that your estate is properly planned and executed is by engaging the services of a qualified estate planning attorney.  If you are uncertain whether your affairs are in order, please feel free to call my office for a complementary review at (601)925-9797.  Your meeting will be free, and your peace of mind will be priceless.
