What happened

  • 01A will can still be overturned if it lacks legal safeguards.
  • 02Medical proof of capacity near signing is crucial.
  • 03Heirs should be excluded from drafting to avoid undue influence claims.
  • 04Clear wording and proper witnessing reduce inheritance disputes.
  • 05Depositing the will with the Inheritance Registrar adds protection.
