Succession, proved
Contesting a Fraudulent Will
Challenges on forgery, want of capacity, suspicious circumstances and non-compliant attestation.
How We Run It
What instructing us looks like
Every matter differs. These are the steps this practice takes as a matter of course, before anything is filed.
Drafted with the attesting witnesses briefed and a contemporaneous record of capacity, because the challenge comes years later when memories have gone.
Probate and letters of administration on the Original Side of the Madras High Court, where its jurisdiction applies.
Where a will is suspicious, the challenge is pleaded specifically — a general allegation of undue influence proves nothing.
