Undue Influence & Fraudulent Calumny Claims - Key Challenges & How to Overcome Them

Introduction

Persons looking to contest a will often believe that another party has influenced the testator to procure a will in their favour, but when does this amount to undue influence or fraudulent calumny?

There may be many things the contesting party can only surmise or suspect at the outset of the process.

Even when all the facts are known, the hurdles that the contesting party must clear are high.

This new virtual classroom seminar will help practitioners to advise on the challenges faced by parties in bringing and defending such claims, as well as how to surmount them.
