Absence of knowledge and approval - contesting a will
Wills are only valid if the maker of the Will knew and approved the terms of the Will. This can be in dispute or contested for a number of reasons, but is frequently disputed where there were suspicious circumstances surrounding the making of the Will.
If someone close to you has recently passed away leaving a Will and you are concerned that there were suspicious circumstances relating to the making of the Will, you may be able to bring a claim contesting the will. For many families, contesting and challenging a will is the best option if they have suspicions concerning the making of the will.
