Invalidation of a will in Belarus
A will is a form of expression of the will of the testator, which determines the fate of the property belonging to him. The law establishes the requirements that a will must meet. In particular, the requirements for the form of the will or the procedure for its execution have not been met, or the rules of the law on the invalidity of transactions have been violated, which makes it possible to challenge the will. For example, one of the grounds for invalidating a will in an inheritance dispute is the making of a will by a person who, due to a mental disorder, did not understand the meaning of his actions.
A lawyer in an inheritance dispute will prepare an appropriate statement of claim, formulate a legal package of documents for going to court, and ensure representation of the principal’s interests in court. If, as a result of the dispute, the will is declared invalid, then the inheritance will be distributed according to the previously valid will, and in its absence, in the order of priority established by law.
