I have instructed a solicitor and have Larke v Nugus response from the solicitor who drafted a will claiming to be a codicil to a Will marked as revoked. The solicitor has since left the firm. Said solicitor witnessed this second will (it was the first revoked will I referred to in earlier posts, I realise only the last Will is provable) the 2nd will the solicitor refers to as a codicil is witnessed by the solicitor who drafted it and his secretary and appoints himself (the law firm) as executor with power to charge for their role of executor. So only people to benefit are the solicitor as will drafter, executor, the Free Will network and the charity the first witness (first will) works for. I’m only concerned about proving legality of Will at this moment. I do appreciate your comments, they are most helpful, thank you.None of the above are 'evidence' that your dad was in host mode or lacked sufficient mental capacity at the time he made his will. You say that the witness attested that your dad had mental capacity but it is the responsibility of the solicitor to determine whether the individual has the required level of capacity to understand what they are doing when they make a will (testamentary capacity).
If you wish to challenge the contents of a will, or the competence of the solicitor concerned, you need to seek specialist legal advice.
