What happens if I leave someone out of my Will?

If you have not properly provided for any of your dependants who are unable to maintain themselves, or if you have not been fair to your spouse (or an ex-spouse who has not remarried), the Court can alter your Will.

Any reasons for leaving someone out should therefore be given in your Will or in a separate letter which can be referred to in your Will. The Court will then consider these reasons although it will not be bound by them.
