If a will is drawn up by a solicitor, they usually take pains to assure themselves that the person knows what they are doing. You can be as malicious as you like as long as you appear to be sane.
I was executor for someone who left everything to an apparent stranger. The stranger was very dodgy and the police were interested. I was able to assure them that my friend knew what she was doing and that no pressure had been brought to bear. I was also able to produce a copy of the letter from the solicitor who had drawn up her will, which basically set out her reasons for doing such an apparently odd thing.
