Undue Influence & Wills – the Solicitor’s Perspective
- Where are the courts now on undue influence and Wills?
- What is the interplay between undue influence and knowledge and approval?
- How central is the solicitor’s role – and how can it determine the outcome?
- What are the solicitor’s risks for personal liability and how can that be avoided?
More and more wills are challenged, year on year. The solicitor’s role is central to the Will-making. One or other (and sometimes both) sides in a probate action will want to recover their costs form the solicitor involved. This webinar will examine how the courts have dealt with solicitors who find themselves trying to make wills for elderly and vulnerable clients, and where those solicitors have succeeded, and where failed, in avoiding personal liability for the costs of the ensuing probate action.
