ESTATE DISPUTES BASED ON THE VALIDITY OF THE WILL

In most cases, Estates are disputed by people who believe there is reason to doubt the validity of the Will, for example someone may challenge the Will if:

• They have doubts about the Deceased’s mental capacity at the time they made the Will
• They do not think the Will was signed and witnessed properly
• They are unsure whether the deceased understood the effect of the Will
• There are indications that parts of the Will have been changed after the deceased signed it
• They do not believe that the Will intended to be relied upon is the last Will of the Deceased
• The Will is unclear and/or cannot be understood.
