The Will Validity Course

Recognise and safeguard against challenges to a Will’s validity — capacity, undue influence, fraud and the formalities.

Course Overview

With up-to-date cases to include new material and a new manual for 2026. Most client circumstances are normal but sometimes there will be questions about mental capacity, duress, or undue pressure. This course covers Testamentary Capacity, Intention, Knowledge and Approval, Undue Influence, Fraud and Forgery, and the Formalities.

It helps practitioners recognise when there is a problem, what to do to safeguard themselves and their client, and what precautions to implement to eliminate future claims. Delivered online via Teams.

Feedback: "Of all the courses I have completed with the Society of Will Writers, I found this one the most valuable and probably the most inspiring. It reminded me why I am proud of the work I do and how much it matters. I particularly appreciated your manner and style of delivery. You made the case law interesting and accessible, and I sincerely hope I have the opportunity to attend another course delivered by you in the future.

Thank you again—it was genuinely appreciated.”
