Challenge of a Will
 
I would challenge a recent Will if it can be established that I have such a right in Law. I would be grateful if members would express their views.

I don't know how we can have views on this? There are laws as to what you can and can't do and that's that.

Here's some info on contesting a will after probate:

If you're referring to your brother-in-law's will, I don't think you'd be legally entitled to challenge it on behalf of his next of kin, if that's what you have in mind.

Merry. I have concluded that there are no grounds upon which to contest the Will of my brother-in-law upon perusal of your posted information. I had suspected a form of racial discrimination but that is not provable.

My brother-in-law made a Will but I am not allowed to print a copy of it. I want my younger sister to see it.

You can apply to the probate office for one. Wills are public documents.

Thanks. I have already been sent a copy of the Will and am able to print it.

....and today the Supreme Court has confirmed that anyone may leave anything to anyone in their will, nor do they have to justify that action.

I think that's good. You should be able to bequeath your wealth and property to whomever you like, so long as it's not under duress or the result of fraudulent activity.

Yes indeed, otherwise what is the point of writing a will.
