Wills can be disputed on various grounds including lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence or coercion, lack of knowledge and approval, lack of valid execution and fraud and forgery. The best way to ensure that your will is not contested after your death is to have it drawn up by a specialist solicitor. We would be pleased to assist. For more information on contentious probate see trust and probate litigation. The provisions of a Will can also be contested if it fails to provide for a beneficiary who is financially dependant on the deceased, such as a spouse, civil partner, child and sometimes a former spouse, former civil partner or cohabitee. If you think that someone might want to make a claim after your death it is sensible to address this when drafting your Will. For further information see inheritance claims for financial provision.
