Legal Will advice

Hope everyone had a great xmas & new year. Rarely on here now due to all sorts of reasons.

My question is, Each page of a will does it have to be dated & signed. Does anyone have a picture to what a legal will made by a solicitor should look like. Im contesting my Grandfathers will, and it has 2 sheets of paper. The first sheet being very basic with no solicitor heading ect and no signature or date on it, the 2nd page has dates & signatures. I find this unusual and dont believe it is authentic. Im waiting to hear from a sollicitor to see if I can get an appointment for them to check it out for me. Thanks

Only the last page has to be signed and dated in England & Wales (witnessed too!)

and a will doesn't have to be drawn up by a solicitor to be legal either.

Good luck!

If you feel unfairly treated, I hope you find justice.

Contesting a will can be a very lengthy and expensive business. A friend of mine contested his brothers will and it took him seven years to sort it out and a very hefty legal bill.

However, if you believe the will is not authentic and you have cast iron proof you should not have a problem.

Look up Probate Law, it can be very helpful

Thank you. Grandad wanted to go see his solicitor a week before he passed away but it was a saturday & closed. I told him to make appt and id take him, he was also scared of his daughter who was allegedly looking after him.... NOT!

You might have grounds if the two pages appear to different, or written at different times.e
