There may be circumstances

where a person desires to make a Will

on their deathbed. 

Page 3: Circumstances Associated with Deathbed Wills | Probate WA Lawyer

It is inevitable that when a Will

made when a person is ill or infirm, there

may be a variety of issues arising…

Whether the Will reflects the deceased’s instructions for the drafting

of the Will;

Whether the deceased had mental capacity at the time of signing the Will;

and

Whether the deceased signed the Will because of undue influence.

Unfair Will distribution may be challenged and this is likely eroding the value of the deceased

estate during the Court proceedings.

Wills Act 1970 (WA).  An informal

Will can be admitted to

probate and there may therefore be a contest between

a deathbed Will and an earlier

valid Will.
