Occasionally, someone’s last will and testament can be challenged by various parties. This is an area of the law that the solicitors at Irwin Mitchell Leeds can assist clients on. There are many different grounds through which a will can be contested. Despite the variety, there are three main reasons for contesting a will. Wills are complex legal document and contesting one will require the services of a lawyer.
Some wills are contested due to a lack of testamentary capacity. When one goes to make a will, they need to have an appropriate level of mental capacity. They have to understand why they are making the will as well as a host of other considerations. If for some reason, others question this, they may be able to contest the validity of the will. To know for sure if their claim is valid, lawyers need to be contacted. The lawyers at Irwin Mitchell Leeds can help determine if there is a legitimate complaint regarding the will.
Another manner in which wills can be contested is the exclusion or improper provisions made for certain people. To know for sure if a specific will qualifies under this reason, contact Irwin Mitchell Leeds who have a lot of experience in this aspect of the law. If it is found that this claim is valid, the court can step in and alter how the estate is distributed.
A third common reason for contesting a will is a proprietary estoppels claim. Usually these claims involve agriculture in some manner. Perhaps the children work on the family farm with the knowledge that upon their parent’s death, they will inherit the farm. When the will is read and this does not occur, they can possible have a claim to contest the will based on this reason. Irwin Mitchell’s Leeds solicitors can help the party determine if they have enough evidence to seek contest on this point.
