The well-known singer, Aretha Franklin, was believed to not have created a will for her multi-million-pound estate when she passed away in 2018.

This was until two handwritten wills were found hidden in her sofa and cabinet, creating a four-year long family dispute in relation to which of the two documents should be regarded as her valid will.

Wills must satisfy strict legal provisions to become valid. A will must be in writing, signed and witnessed by two independent witnesses. Additionally, if the language in your will is uncertain, or your intentions are not presented clearly, this could lead to the will being held invalid. Improperly executed wills can lead to family disputes with significant legal costs.
