Article Overview:
Amid Sunjay Kapur’s inheritance dispute, this article looks at what mistakes one must avoid while crafting their will and the steps to ensure the validity of their document.
Our Partner, Tanmay Patnaik, Private Client Practice, Trilegal shared his perspective. Here’s what he had to say:
“Courts focus on the underlying testamentary intent and will interpret the document in the most logical and harmonious way possible, rather than penalising technical errors in drafting or language. However, serious defects such as improper attestation, lack of capacity, or circumstances that cast doubt on the authenticity or voluntariness of the Will can lead to it being challenged or set aside.”
