Challenging Will Validity
A will is meant to reflect the genuine intentions of the deceased. However, in some cases, there may be legitimate concerns about whether a will is valid—due to issues such as mental incapacity, undue influence, fraud, or procedural defects. In British Columbia, interested parties have the legal right to challenge a will if they believe it does not represent the true and lawful wishes of the deceased.
When Can a Will Be Challenged?
A will may be challenged before or after probate has been granted. Common legal grounds for challenging a will in British Columbia include:
1. Lack of Testamentary Capacity
2. Undue Influence
3. Lack of Proper Execution
4. Fraud or Forgery
