Contesting a Will

Legal support challenging or contesting a Will

Are you concerned that a person may have made a Will that leaves you out because of the influence of a family member, carer or other person who has become close to the deceased in their later years of life?

Or perhaps you feel you have been left out of a Will because the deceased was elderly and you think they did not have the necessary mental capacity to make a Will?

How we can help

We can assist you in challenging or defending disputes about these sorts of Wills. Challenges to Wills can be made on a number of grounds, such as:

• a lack of mental capacity
• the influence of the person who takes the lion's share of the Will (what we call 'undue influence')
• the Will not being properly signed or witnessed (what we call 'lack of due execution')
• the person who made the Will not knowing or agreeing to the terms of the Will they signed (what we call 'lack of knowledge and approval')
• the Will not having been properly drafted (what we call 'a negligent Will').
