WILL FRAUD
Fraudulent will cases
Sadly we are now seeing an increase in the number of suspected fraudulent will cases.
Typically, fraud will arise whereby the will maybe have been altered in someway, for example the signature may not be that of the testator while we have also seen cases where the will may have been deliberately destroyed.
As with Undue influence the burden of proving fraud can be very high and therefore expert evidence is often required for example by a calligrapher (a handwriting expert) in order to support an allegation of fraud.
