In addition to Family Provision Act claims and questions about capacity, disputes can sometimes arise in deceased estates if family members believe that particular individuals exerted an undue influence on the way in which a testator made their Will.

“Undue influence” cases are very difficult to prove in court. For this reason, it is important that anyone considering making such a claim obtains expert legal advice from lawyers who are familiar with this area of law. Equally, executors faced with such a claim need to understand their duties to the beneficiaries named in the Will and need strong representation when responding to claims of undue influence.

Our Wills and Estates Law specialists have the necessary knowledge and experience to advise on such claims.
