Hi, my names Nigel Mills, I'm a solicitor with Bonallack and Bishop and I'm here today
to talk to you about inheritance and related disputes.
How to contest a will "What are some of the reasons for contesting
a will?" The reasons for contesting a will can be numerous
and varied but most frequently they are because a person believes that they either should
be a beneficiary and are not or they are shown as being a beneficiary in the will but they're
not inheriting or receiving the sum that they feel they should. In addition wills are frequently
challenged on the grounds that for example the person, the deceased person that made
the will lacked the necessary capacity at the time that they made the will. That frankly
is the most common ground for disputing the will but there are others as well such as
undue influence and lack of knowledge and approval from the person who executed the
will. "Can I delay my decision to contest a will?"
The grounds for contesting a will are numerous but from a practical point of view it's always
best to act as swiftly as you possibly can. Once you've learned that the will does not
provide for you or makes insufficient provision for you.
"Can a solicitor help us to contest a will?" Well initially a solicitor can help in contesting
a will by giving advice on the different methods by which a will can be contested, the costs
that are likely to be involved in that and whether in appropriate cases it can dealt
with on a no win no fee basis. "What is Probate Caveat?"
A caveat can be registered at the probate registry by anyone who believes that the will
is either not valid for whatever reason and there are a number of different reasons for
which a will could be found to be invalid or because they believe that the person who's
name is the executor in the will is not somebody who should be proving it.
