Bases for Challenging a Will: Part I

In today’s video we start our discussion of challenging a will. In order to do so, of course, you need a legal basis. In Part I of this two part series, we look at the statutory bases for challenging a will. Those are:

1. Testamentary Capacity
2. Undue Influence
3. Fraud
4. Duress
5. Mistake
6. Revocation

Next time, in Part II of this two part series we’ll explore the non-statutory bases for challenging a will. We’ll also look at some commonly attempted bases that just don’t work out.
