The language involved in Will
disputes can prove difficult.
Some of the more common
terms are:
Contested
Probate
This is the formal name for
challenging a Will or bringing
a claim which arises out of a
Deceased’s Estate or the
behaviour of an Executor or
Administrator.
Caveat
A Caveat is a short-term
mechanism used to stop a
Grant of Probate being
obtained from the Probate
Registry. Caveats can be
challenged.
LackofDue
Execution
There are rules about how a
Will must be signed in order
for it to take effect. If a Will is
not signed properly and all of
the legal formalities have not
been properly complied with,
the Will could be challenged.
Wantof
Knowledge and
Approval
Despite signing their Will, a
person may not know what
their Will says or understand
what the Will does. This lack
of knowledge and approval of
the contents of their Will may
make it invalid.
Undue
Influence
A Will should be an expression
of the wishes of the person
making the Will and not
someone else. A Will can be
challenged if someone
influenced, coerced or put
pressure on the person who
was making the Will.
Lackof
Testamentary
Capacity
Where a person making a Will
does not have the required
mental ability to make that
Will, whether due to illness or
injury, they are said to be
lacking testamentary capacity.
TheInheritance
(ProvisionforFamily
&Dependants)Act
1975
This Act allows people who
have not been sufficiently
provided for in a Will to apply
for “reasonable provision”.
There are certain categories of
eligibility which depend upon
the Deceased’s circumstances.
