Contesting Will Validity Process
Summary
Contesting a will involves challenging its validity, often due to mental capacity or undue influence concerns. Medical records, witness statements, and solicitor involvement can be crucial evidence. Fraudulent wills can be contested in probate court. Changing a will before probate is finalized is generally not possible.

In court, the focus is typically on the will's validity, but presenting evidence of a fraudulent will can support your case by demonstrating potential undue influence or deception. It might be beneficial to consult with your solicitor about how this evidence could be strategically used in your specific situation.
