In the realm of estate planning, one often encounters the delicate balance between a testator’s intentions and the rights of potential beneficiaries, especially given the existence of the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 (Inheritance Act).

Undue influence in a Will occurs when somebody has been coerced into making a decision that they otherwise would not have made.

The vast majority of Will disputes will occur shortly after the death of the deceased, although it is not uncommon for claimants to delay initiating legal proceedings for various reasons.
