Summary

A Family Settlement Agreement isnt necessarily contesting a will. Its often used to resolve disputes among beneficiaries without court intervention. If heirs dont want to sell assets as stated in a will, you can challenge the agreement by hiring a lawyer, proving fraud, coercion, or undue influence, or showing that the agreement contradicts the will. In North Carolina, the Clerk of Superior Court oversees probate matters, and legal representation is advised for personalized advice.
