The latest in Fraser and Fraser’s popular series of free webinars brings together barrister Hugh Cumber and Moon Beever partners Richard Boulding and Edward Saunders.
Together, Richard, Ed and Hugh will be considering recent events in the area of contentious probate. Their discussion will include developments in the law of testamentary capacity, the pros and cons of early neutral evaluation as an alternative to mediation, the fate of serious allegations (forgery, undue influence, and fraud), and possible litigation arising out of the introduction of remote wills.
