There may be times when you suspect that a family member or loved one has made their Will under suspicious circumstances.
You might, for instance, think that they were unduly influenced into leaving items to unexpected people or leave more than was expected. Solicitors in North Wales can help decipher the issues in these circumstances.
Usually there are two options for challenging a Will and you will need to speak to your legal advisor to ascertain which is best for you. Undue influence is perhaps the most common accusation, and this is when it is suspected that the testator has been persuaded or forced into changing their Will to benefit someone. Although this can be a frequent issue, it is important that there is sufficient evidence to challenge the Will and prove that it was written under duress.
Another legal challenge to a Will is fraudulent calumny. This is a slightly more complex concern, and you will require the services of Wills solicitors in North Wales to help you address these sorts of problems. They will explain that this is a situation when someone is disinherited due to another person influencing the mind of the testator against them. Again, evidence is required to demonstrate that if this had not happened, that individual would have been left a gift or a larger portion of the estate.
