When a person hires an attorney to draft their will, it is their intent to clarify their wishes about the transfer of their property after death. Although wills are designed to clearly state the wishes of the recently deceased and facilitate the smooth transfer of property and other assets, disputes can still arise.

- Mental capacity of the testator
