What does the term sustained mean in court?
"Sustained" is one of the two possible rulings on an objection raised by one of the attorneys. If an attorney asks an improper question, or a witness gives an inappropriate answer, the attorney for the opposite side (or, in the case of the inappropriate answer, the attorney asking the question) will object. The judge can then sustain the objection, saying "The question (or answer) is improper," or say the objection is "overruled"," meaning the question is proper and the witness may answer, or the witness' answer is accepted and the attorney should ask his next question.

When do you say objection in a court?
When an attorney determines that the opposing counsel (or witness) has made, or is about to make, a statement or revelation which is contrary to established law and/or legal procedure. The judge rules on the objection by saying either "sustained", which means he agrees with the attorney who made the objection, and the opposing council must drop that line of questioning, or he says "overruled" or "I will allow it", which means he disagrees - for the moment - with the attorney who made the objection, and the opposing council can continue.

Can an executor witness a will?
No. An executor, onced appointed by the court, has complete and uninhibited access to the decedent's assets. Therefore the executor derives some benefit from the will and should not be a witness.

How do you object directly to the court in a civil suit?
It depends on the reason for your objection and the stage of the case. Before trial, during discovery, objections are usually made for the record only. During a depostion, for example, an attorney might object (makes a statement, "I object", followed by the reason for the objection) to preserve his objection for a later ruling by the court, if necessary. Before trial, objections can be made during hearings in open court. Objections can be made in writing by filing a written document. At trial, objections are usually made orally but can also be made in writing with the filing of a document. All objections, regardless of when made or the manner in making them, must have a reason for making them. Typical objections and reasons for making them might be: "Objection! Violation of the heresay rule." "Objection! Attorney/client privilege" "Objection! Asked and answered." "Objection! Counsel is misstating the witness."
