The courts continue to produce many decisions involving challenges to wills and/or lifetime transactions on the ground of undue influence. This session will consider some of these recent cases and try to answer the following:
- What do the courts focus on when deciding these sorts of cases?
- What can the private client advisor do to try to minimise the risk of a subsequent challenge to a will or a lifetime transaction based on undue influence?
- How should the litigator approach these sorts of challenges?
