I signed an agreement to release all my interest in a Family Trust which I now deeply regret.
This agreement was made in consideration of a sum of money, was notorized, states that I was of sound mind, and on the surface appears to include the basic elements of contract law. However, it was not drafted by an attorney and may still lack proper legal form. Also there was a lack of true disclosure of the facts upon which the agreement was made. I feel there is enough reason to have a court look at the agreement and decide if it should be considered legal and binding.
Can I sue now to have a court rule that this agreement is in fact invalid, so that it would not be allowed consideration by future courts should I need to sue the estate for my rights and benfefits as a beneficiary? If so, what level of court would be appropriate to make that ruling?
