There are many reasons why you may consider contesting a Will or bringing a claim against an estate, for example:
- You may have been left out of a Will, a Will may make insufficient financial provision for you or there may be no Will at all.
- You may be concerned about the circumstances surrounding the making of a Will:
- Did the person who made the Will have mental capacity at the time they made their Will? Did they fully understand the terms of the Will?
- Is the Will valid? Does it comply with the strict formalities for making a Will?
- Was undue pressure placed on person making the Will to leave their estate to a particular person or to exclude others?
- Is fraud or forgery involved?
