1. Well,if that is so then the Willis not validly executed.

2.So to invalidate this Will the witness will have to testify on this after which the court will declare the Will is null and void.

3.The mental frailness of the testator further makes the Will executed under suspicious conditions.

The testator ought have signed the will before the witnesses. If the witnesses are on your side and open to depose this fact in the Court, you may take your chance by way of filing a suit for cancellation of this will..

Hi, if the WILL is not signed in the presence of witnesses then there is a possibility that it may have been made under coercion .. You can challenge its validity in court

After signing of the Will by testator, the will should be attested by two or more witnesses. Each of the witness are required to see the testator sign or affix his mark to the will or see some other person sign the will, in the presence and by the direction of the testator. Also, the witnesses can receive from the testator a personal acknowledgment of his signature or mark, or of the signature of such other person and it would be valid. Finally, each of the witnesses must sign the will in the presence of the testator. There is no requirement that more than one witness should be present at the same time, and no particular form of attestation is required.

The above information was provided to me at a later date by both witnesses who signed the Wil about a year ago. The presence of a Will has been kept secret from me but was revealed by the witnesses who feared that it was signed by testator in a weakened mental state brought on by advanced age of 80 plus years, failing health and increasing symptoms of senility.

The attesting witnesses should depose this evidence before court of law and the court will decide to declare the will as invalid on the basis of the deposition of the attesting witnesses.

Is there a time frame from the date of death of the testator for the Will to be probated or executed? How long can the Will be kept pending? Will notice be given to all legatees if Will is probated by one of the legatees without the knowledge of the others?

The probate applicatiion can be filed after getting the knowledge of the existence of a will.

The other legatees are to be issued with notice for the probate case.

there is no time limit for filing probate, this has been held by various High Courts and yes the notice will be sent to all the legal heirs.
