Do you need help contesting a will on a No Win No Fee basis?

Which reasons are valid for contesting a will?

The main reasons for contesting a will are:

• Lack of testamentary capacity (the mental capacity needed to make a valid will)
• Lack of due execution (a failure to meet the necessary formalities i.e. for the will to be in writing, signed and witnessed correctly)
• Lack of knowledge and approval of the will (i.e. not knowing the meaning or content of the will)
• Undue influence or duress (pressure put on a person to make or change a will)
• Fraud or forgery (i.e. faking a signature or making unauthorised changes to a will)
• Rectification and construction (i.e. if a will is ambiguous, unclear or does not carry out a person’s intentions or wishes)

We can help you with contesting a will if a loved one:

• Has not provided you with what you expected to receive.
• Has unfairly omitted to provide you with anything.
• Has failed to provide you with something that was promised, or that you bargained for.
• Has changed the Will despite agreeing that it would not be changed.
• Was pressured into changing a Will.
• Did not have the mental capacity to produce a Will.

We can also help:

• If there is something wrong with the Will.
• If the Executor won’t pay you your entitlement.
• If the Will has been made, or has been changed, fraudulently.
