About the Webinar

When a will fails to accurately reflect a testator’s intentions, it can cause significant issues at the administration stage. This session provides a thorough exploration of the processes involved in rectifying or constructing a will to align it with the testator’s true wishes, including:

  • Differentiating between amending a will to correct errors and interpreting it to resolve ambiguities
  • Determining if the will in question stands as a valid testamentary document requiring correction
  • Identifying scenarios where rectification of a will becomes essential
  • Utilizing external evidence to uncover the testator’s true intentions
  • How courts interpret a will’s meaning without rewriting it
  • When rectification or construction fails - what steps to take if the will cannot be clarified or corrected
