Do you gave a vested interest in overturning this latest version? Did anyone have poa for your gm?

Unless you have something more substantial to go on I would drop it.

All previous wills are revoked is standard regardless of there being any previous will or not.

Your aunty cannot have signed as a witness and be a beneficiary.

Speak to the solicitor involved. A discussion about her estate and her wishes would have taken place to produce the will usually.

Grandmother
Power of Attorney

If she had capacity and signed it freely, with witnesses you will have an uphill struggle to get it withdrawn. Clearly this was some time ago, shy is it only just at Probate?

GM - grandma
POA - power of attorney

It's hard to work out what's happened from your posts. What do you think has happened? Who are the people involved?

LIZS · 27/12/2020 17:06

I'm assuming op thinks aunt and cousin have coerced gm to change will in their favour.

cabbageking · 27/12/2020 17:07

Spelling errors sometimes happen.

The will is dated 1996? Hardly a last minute change?

pez123 · 27/12/2020 17:11

Did the solicitor not provide you with advice about the difficulty of contesting a will and the grounds needed?

pez123 · 27/12/2020 17:15

when a will is ready for probate it should be perfect an readable to whoever whatsoever reads it an spelling check should be perfect yes ,hey o its only for her couch or gold ring ,or maybe its 2 or3 or more million but lets read all the mistakes an hidden writeups not printed an squiggled an missleading will writeups

LIZS · 27/12/2020 17:23

Do you realise posters here are not necessarily lawyers! It seems your "evidence" is flimsy and based more on a suspicion than fact. If you know the witness why did you not ask them if they remember? Do other family members support you?

cabbageking · 27/12/2020 17:24

The Will was granted when your Granny was well and sound of mind.
It is a long standing will.
The beneficiaries are the same ones who would benefit from no Will existing.
You have no evidence of coercion.
You have no evidence of any previous requests.
Your Granny died in 2004.
You do not appear to have been supported by her or questioned anything earlier.
The family however were living with her?

You'd be surprised how many wills have spelling mistakes and even inconsistencies.

Therefore, when a will which was known to be in the deceased person’s possession cannot be found upon their death it raises the question: has it been lost or destroyed?

In these circumstances there is a presumption that the will has been destroyed with the intention to revoke it. However, in some circumstances evidence of the person’s intentions can be put forward and accepted in place of the will.

There is a will in place.
Your thinking is perverse.

Contesting a will can be a costly and lengthy process. I’d seek legal advice as to whether you have enough evidence. You might have suspicions but you’ll need evidence.
