To successfully contest a will, you need substantial evidence to demonstrate that the will does not truly represent the deceased’s intentions or was created under invalid circumstances. Important types of evidence include:

  • Witness testimony: Statements from individuals who were present when the will was signed or who had discussions with the deceased regarding their testamentary intentions can be crucial.
  • Documents: This includes copies of the contested will, any earlier wills, correspondence between the deceased and their legal advisers, and any documents that confirm the deceased’s intentions.
  • Forensic evidence: If you suspect forgery, handwriting experts may be hired to examine the signatures on the will.
  • Medical records: If the will is being contested on the grounds of lack of testamentary capacity, medical records and expert testimony about the deceased’s mental state are vital.
