Son Of Harry Magnuson In Legal Dispute With Siblings

The son of deceased Silver Valley mining magnate Harry Magnuson is currently suing his three other siblings alleging that they conspired to have him written out of their mother’s will.  When Harry Magnuson died in 2009 he left everything to his widow Colleen Magnuson.  The widow passed away recently in March and now the children are engaged in this legal dispute.  Thomas Magnuson alleges that his siblings coerced their mother into revising her will shortly before her passing.  This dispute brings attention to the issues of will contests and undue influence.  There is a good chance that whenever a presumptive heir is written out of a will that they are likely going to contest the document.
