What We Do
Under the law of England and Wales a person, known as the testator, has the freedom to leave their assets to whomever they please. However, if you feel that a Will fails to make sufficient (or any) provision for you, you may have a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
Alternatively, a Will can be challenged on the grounds that it is invalid because:
-
- The Will has not been correctly signed and witnessed
- The testator lacked the necessary mental capacity;
- The testator lacked knowledge or approval of the contents of their Will;
- The testator was subject to undue influence;
- The Will is forged/fraudulent.
