About the Podcast
Older Australians are coming under increasing pressure from family members suffering from economic hardship and stress to change their Wills to favour those family members. Making suggestions that a Will be changed is one thing, but such suggestions can and do cross the line into undue influence and can result in challenges to the Will by other potential or actual beneficiaries. In this program, Max Williams, from De Groots Wills Estates Lawyers in Sydney, provides a guide to; what is undue influence; the challenges of proving undue influence, and the remedy likely to be ordered by the Court; the role of lawyers in guarding against challenges to a Will claiming undue influence; and recent cases illustrating the approach of the courts to such claims.
