Re: name spelled incorrectly....legal document?
A court would probably allow it if it is clear it was just an error, but it will not be for sure that that would be a court's decision.
Is anybody contesting it? |

Re: name spelled incorrectly....legal document?
was considering contesting it....but at $3200 retainer for the attorney wanted to know first about the legality of the document due to the spelling error. proving the mental state of the testator at the time of the will signing was going to be difficult already.
