Grounds for Challenging a Will

A will in Malaysia can be challenged on several grounds, including:

Lack of Testamentary Capacity:

If it is believed that the testator (the person who made the will) did not have the mental capacity to understand the nature and consequences of making the will at the time it was signed.

A Createwills digital will states that you do have the mental capacity to create a will, this is verified both those you choose as witnesses when the Will is complete.

Undue Influence:

If it is alleged that the testator was coerced or unduly influenced by someone to make or alter the will in a way that does not reflect their true intentions.

Createwills always stress the importance of choosing the right people to execute your Will along with the help of trusted family or friends.

Improper Execution:

If the will does not meet the formal requirements set out by the law, such as being properly signed and witnessed.

As you complete the Will each section is reviewed in the summary page to show if there is any conflicting or missing information. The Wills also come with a free guide as too signing and having the Will witnessed.

Fraud or Forgery:

If it is suspected that the will was forged or that the testator was misled into signing it.

Createwills unique anti-fraud feature allows you to add a photo and individual code onto the Will to remove the chances of someone fraudulently creating a Will. The platform also shows any history of when a Will was changed or updated.

Revocation:

If there is evidence that the will was revoked by the testator, either by creating a new will or through some other legal means.

Our Wills include the legal statement that this Will revokes all previous wills.
