Hi,
I'm asking for a friend, my friend's husband made a will 2014 which left everything to his wife. Six months prior (June 2019) to his death (death was Jan 2020) he changed the will without the wife's (carer) knowledge.
He has stated in the current will that the martial home of over 20 years must be sold, 50% to his wife and the other 50% to his biological children only (none to her biological children). It states on his death certificate that the husband had suffered dementia of two years prior to his death.
He had no power of attorney in place, and he has gone and done this will by himself. Because he had dementia as stated on the death certificate, is the will 6 months prior to his death valid?
Thanks in advance.
