 Disputes over Wills and Estates |
It is sadly sometimes the case that when a loved one dies, it is discovered that the Will they left is invalid for some reason: perhaps they were of unsound mind, or the Will was not properly executed. Or, perhaps the Will is open to challenge because it has failed to make reasonable financial provision for a beneficiary, such as their spouse, when there was a legal obligation to do so. Alternatively, perhaps they did not make a Will at all, mistakenly believing that everything would automatically go to their co-habitee, to whom they were not married. It can be a terrible shock to discover that, despite living with someone for many years, everything will pass to the Deceased’s parents, for example, or to the children of the Deceased’s previous marriage.
