#Probate Appeal

Attesting testimony proves will’s execution and outweighs expert opinion, Bombay High Court ruled. It clarified that mere illness like Parkinson’s does not establish unsound mind and that disinheriting a natural heir in favor of offspring is not inherently suspicious.

A witness’s signature in testator’s presence remains valid even with advocate prompting the signing, and delay in filing for probate does not invalidate will absent a statutory limitation, benefiting executors and beneficiaries facing procedural delays.
