Are You an Estate Planning Terrorist? Is Someone in Your Family?

It is entirely possible. People planning their estates and their advisors have an understandable desire to prevent or at least discourage family members from challenging their wills or trusts in court. In order to do so, they often include language in the will or trust that provides that anyone who challenges the validity of the will or trust will forfeit the money or property the challenger would otherwise receive under the instrument.
