When it comes to Probate and wills, there are always questions and even concerns. A common question is who can contest a will?

While the specific rules can vary, here are some common categories of people who can typically contest a will:

1. Beneficiaries: Beneficiaries named in a previous will or those who would inherit under intestacy laws (if there is no will) may have grounds to contest a will if they believe it is invalid or unfair.

2. Disinherited heirs: If someone who would typically be entitled to inherit under the law or a previous will is intentionally excluded or receives a significantly smaller share in the current will, they may have the right to contest it.

3. Family members: Close relatives, such as spouses, children, or parents, may have the ability to contest a will if they believe it was made under undue influence, coercion, fraud, or if the testator lacked mental capacity when creating the will.

4. Creditors: In some cases, creditors who are owed money by the deceased person may be able to contest a will if they believe it hampers their ability to collect the debts owed to them.

It's important to note that contesting a will can be a complex legal process with specific time limits and requirements.

Understanding everything is important, it gives you peace of mind and safe guards your estate and families future.

Here for you and your future

Your will tells everyone what should happen to your money, possessions and property after you die (all these things together are called your ‘estate’). If you don’t leave a will, the law decides how your estate is passed on – and this might not be in line with your wishes.

Four reasons why you need a will

A will makes it much easier for your family or friends to sort everything out when you die – without a will the process can be more time consuming and stressful.

If you don’t write a will, everything you own will be shared out in a standard way defined by the law – which isn’t always the way you might want.

A will can help reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax that might be payable on the value of the property and money you leave behind.

Writing a will is especially important if you have children or other family who depend on you financially, or if you want to leave something to people outside your immediate family.
