Contesting a Will
Seeking specialist legal advice at an early stage can help avoid unnecessary stress and the time and costs of having to go to Court. If you think you have grounds to contest a Will then it’s important to act fast, preferably before a grant of probate is obtained and the assets of the estate are distributed.
There are several grounds on which you can contest a Will including:-
- lack of testamentary capacity
- undue influence or coercion
- lack of knowledge and approval
- failure to comply with the requirements of the Wills Act 1837, and
- forgery and fraud.
