In this article, our DuPage will dispute lawyers explain the differences between formal proof of will hearings and will contests. A formal proof of will hearing is a proceeding in which an interested party requires the executor of a probate case to prove that the will was properly executed through the testimony of the witnesses. The inquiry in a formal proof of will hearing is limited to facts surrounding the execution of the will and the evidence is limited to the testimony of the witnesses to the will. A will contest, on the other hand, has a broader range of causes of action and types of proof that may be presented to the court. Often, heirs or legatees who are challenging a will will first file a formal proof of will hearing and then file a will contest if the formal proof of will hearing is not successful.
