A question commonly asked is, what will happen in circumstances where a loved one has been brought to have their will changed near the end of their life; at a time when there are concerns about who is exercising influence over them and when there’s a concern about do they really understand and appreciate what they were doing?

Those are real and legitimate concerns and it happens too often. You can challenge a will on the basis that the testator did not have proper capacity, that the testator was unduly influenced or that the testator, the person who signed the will, didn’t fully appreciate and understand what they had, who the natural objects of their affection would be and what they were really doing. Come to us and we will assist you and demand that you get the information that you’re entitled to. That may include an investigation into the testator’s medical records to see what was really going on with them at the time that they were doing the will. That often forms the basis for a challenge and we will help you get the evidence that you need together to properly challenge a will when it’s appropriate to do so.
