How to Defend a Will Against a Challenge in the UK

· 26 min

Note: The following scenario is fictional and used for illustration.

David, 58, was executor of his mother's estate. Margaret had died at 84, leaving her £320,000 estate equally to David and his sister Rachel. Six weeks after the funeral, David received a letter from a solicitor representing his estranged brother Graham, who'd had no contact with their mother for 12 years.

Graham claimed Margaret lacked capacity when she updated her will 18 months before death, excluding him after he'd refused to apologize for stealing £8,000 from her. The solicitor demanded medical records and threatened court proceedings.

David felt sick. He'd watched his mother carefully consider the decision. She'd been clear-minded until her final weeks, and the will was prepared by a solicitor. But now he faced potential legal costs of £30,000 defending it, with the risk of paying Graham's costs too if he lost.

Approximately 92% of civil mediation cases in the UK settle, avoiding trial entirely. But defending challenges that reach court can cost £20,000-£50,000+ per party in straightforward cases.

This article explains exactly how to defend a will challenge in the UK—what evidence you need, the legal procedures involved, your costs exposure, when to settle versus fight, and how to protect the estate while honoring the deceased's wishes.

Understanding Your Role: Executor vs. Beneficiary Defense

The single most important decision you'll make is whether to defend as an executor or as a beneficiary. This choice determines who pays your legal costs and what duties you owe.

As an executor, you have a duty of neutrality. You must act in the estate's best interests, not your personal benefit. When you defend as executor and remain neutral on validity questions, the estate pays your reasonable legal costs regardless of the outcome.

This protection comes from Practice Direction 46, which establishes that executors acting properly are entitled to indemnity from the estate for reasonable costs incurred.

But there's a critical distinction. You can defend as executor when the challenge threatens estate administration or is clearly frivolous. You must stay neutral when genuine disputes exist about capacity, undue influence, or validity.

If you defend as a beneficiary, you're protecting your personal interests. You pay your own legal costs even if you win, unless you obtain a costs order. This creates significant financial exposure.

Emma is executor and main beneficiary of her aunt's £400,000 estate. Her cousin claims undue influence. If Emma defends as executor in her neutral role, the estate pays legal costs. If she defends as beneficiary with a personal interest, she pays her own costs even if she wins—unless she gets a costs order.

Her solicitor advises staying neutral on validity but defending against obviously false allegations of fraud. This protects Emma from personal costs liability while fulfilling her executor duties.

The cost implications are dramatic. Executors recover reasonable costs from the estate. Beneficiaries defending personally face £20,000-£50,000+ exposure with no guarantee of recovery, even if they win.

Choose your defensive position carefully. Most executors benefit from maintaining neutrality while gathering evidence and facilitating proper investigation of the challenge. This protects you financially while honoring your fiduciary duties.

The Four Main Grounds for Will Challenges (And How to Defend Each)

Challengers must prove the will is invalid on specific legal grounds. Understanding these grounds helps you build your defense strategy and gather the right evidence.

Lack of Testamentary Capacity is the most common challenge ground. The test comes from Banks v Goodfellow (1870), requiring the testator to understand the nature of making a will, know the extent of property, comprehend potential beneficiaries, and have no disorder of mind influencing decisions.

Your defense focuses on medical records showing no cognitive impairment, solicitor's notes demonstrating clear thinking, witness statements confirming lucidity, and expert medical opinion on capacity. The Banks v Goodfellow test established four requirements that remain the legal standard today.

Undue Influence requires proof of coercion so severe it overpowers the testator's free will. This is very hard to prove—influence must go beyond persuasion to actual coercion.

Defend with evidence of independent decision-making: the testator contacted the solicitor directly, met alone, gave instructions without others present, and showed consistent intentions over time. Solicitor's notes about the testator's clear explanations of their reasons are powerful evidence.

Lack of Knowledge and Approval means the testator didn't understand or approve the will's contents. This arises when someone else prepared the will or suspicious circumstances exist.

Your strongest defense is the solicitor's file showing instructions taken directly from the testator, the will read back to them, and their confirmation of understanding. Contemporary notes matter far more than later recollections.

Improper Execution challenges claim the will doesn't meet Wills Act 1837 Section 9 requirements: signed by the testator, witnessed by two independent people, with proper attestation.

Defend with witness statements confirming they watched the testator sign, signed themselves in the testator's presence, and the testator appeared to have capacity. The attestation clause creates a strong presumption of proper execution.

When James's will was challenged for lack of capacity, his daughter Sarah gathered GP medical records showing no dementia diagnosis, the solicitor's detailed attendance note recording James explaining exactly why he was leaving his business to Sarah, and witness statements confirming James seemed clear and decisive.

An expert medical opinion based on these records confirmed capacity. The challenge was withdrawn before proceedings issued.

Here's the critical point: if the will was properly executed and appears rational, courts presume capacity and validity. The burden falls on the challenger to prove invalidity, not on you to prove validity. This presumption is your greatest advantage.

Essential Evidence: What You Need to Gather Immediately

The first four weeks after receiving a challenge notice determine whether your case settles early or proceeds to expensive litigation. Comprehensive evidence gathered quickly often causes challengers to withdraw.

IMMEDIATE (Week 1):

  • Original will and any codicils
  • Will file from the preparing solicitor
  • Death certificate
  • Any previous wills showing testamentary history

Request these immediately. The original will is essential—courts scrutinize execution formalities closely. Previous wills show consistent intentions or explain changes.

URGENT (Weeks 2-3):

  • Complete medical records (GP, hospital, specialists)
  • Solicitor's full file and attendance notes
  • Witness contact details before memories fade

Medical records are critical for capacity defenses. Under the Access to Health Records Act 1990, executors and those with potential claims arising from death can request deceased's medical records.

Since August 2022, the last registered GP practice is responsible for these requests. Write formally citing the Act, expect a £50-£100 fee, and allow 2-4 weeks for response.

The solicitor's file contains gold: attendance notes from meetings, capacity assessments, emails, and rough notes showing the testator's thinking. Request everything—don't accept selective disclosure.

IMPORTANT (Month 1):

  • Financial records showing mental capacity (bank statements, bills paid, investment decisions)
  • Witness statements from family and friends about the testator's state of mind
  • Any diaries, letters, or recordings from the testator
  • Chronology of the testator's health and will-making timeline

Financial records demonstrate capacity through rational decision-making. If the testator was managing complex affairs competently at the time of will-making, this undermines capacity challenges.

Witness statements must be gathered while memories are fresh. Contact anyone who knew the testator's state of mind around the will-making date. Ask them to document specific conversations, observations, and their assessment of capacity.

Michael's mother died in March. When his sister challenged the will in May claiming lack of capacity, Michael immediately obtained the solicitor's file showing his mother had visited alone, given clear instructions, and discussed family circumstances rationally.

He requested GP records showing no cognitive impairment diagnosis and contacted the will witnesses who confirmed she'd seemed perfectly clear. By June he had a comprehensive evidence package.

His sister's solicitor reviewed it and advised her the challenge was unlikely to succeed. She withdrew the claim, avoiding £40,000+ in litigation costs for both sides.

Document preservation matters urgently. Witnesses forget details, medical files get archived, solicitors retire. The evidence you gather in the first month often determines the entire outcome.

The Larke v Nugus Statement: Your Most Powerful Defense Tool

A Larke v Nugus statement from the will-drafting solicitor is often the single most powerful piece of evidence that resolves challenges without litigation.

Named after the 1979 case Larke v Nugus, this statement is a detailed account from the solicitor who prepared the will, explaining the circumstances of its preparation and execution.

It should contain contemporaneous notes of all meetings and calls, details of where meetings happened and who attended, how instructions were given and whether the testator was alone, what capacity checks were performed, how provisions were explained, and witness execution details.

Request it in writing from the will-drafting solicitor, referencing Law Society practice guidance. Set a reasonable deadline of 2-3 weeks.

Solicitors may charge reasonable fees for preparing these statements—generally less than £750 plus VAT. What's considered reasonable varies by firm complexity but should reflect the time required to retrieve files and prepare the statement.

There's no legal obligation to respond to a Larke v Nugus request. However, courts support full disclosure to encourage early resolution. If a solicitor unreasonably refuses, you can seek court-ordered disclosure under Senior Courts Act 1981 section 122 or CPR 31.16 pre-action disclosure.

Why does this matter so much? A comprehensive statement showing proper procedure frequently causes challengers to withdraw. It's not technically conclusive proof of validity, but it's extremely persuasive evidence.

When Robert's will was challenged, his executor requested a Larke v Nugus statement from the preparing solicitor. The statement revealed Robert had contacted the firm directly with no one else present, explained he wanted to exclude his son because of 10 years without contact, and the solicitor had assessed capacity by asking Robert to explain his assets and family situation.

Robert did so clearly and coherently. Two independent witnesses confirmed proper execution.

The challenger's solicitor read this statement and advised the challenge had minimal prospects. It settled within six weeks, avoiding £40,000+ litigation costs.

Most will challenges involving solicitor-prepared wills collapse after a strong Larke v Nugus statement. It's the first defense tool to deploy, and often the last you'll need.

Defending Against Capacity Challenges: Medical Evidence and Expert Reports

Lack of capacity is the most common challenge ground, so understanding how to defend it is essential for most executors.

The legal test comes from Banks v Goodfellow (1870), which requires the testator to understand the nature of making a will, know the extent of property, comprehend potential beneficiaries and their claims, and have no disorder of mind affecting these decisions.

Here's your greatest advantage: if the will was properly executed and appears rational, courts presume capacity existed. The burden falls on the challenger to prove incapacity, not on you to prove capacity.

But if the challenger raises sufficient doubt with medical evidence or witness testimony, the burden shifts. You must then prove capacity on the balance of probabilities.

Medical records are your foundation. GP notes, hospital records, specialist assessments, medication history, and diagnosis timeline all matter. Look for what's not there as much as what is—absence of dementia diagnosis near the will-making date is powerful evidence.

The "Golden Rule" from Kenward v Adams (1975) recommends that solicitors obtain a medical practitioner's capacity assessment before will execution for elderly or seriously ill testators. When this exists, it's strong (though not conclusive) evidence of capacity.

Expert medical opinion provides retrospective capacity assessment. An independent expert reviews all medical records and witness evidence to give a professional opinion on whether the testator had capacity at the moment of signing.

This typically costs £2,000-£5,000 but can be decisive. Experts assess whether any diagnosed conditions would have affected the specific mental functions required for will-making.

Remember that capacity is time-specific. The testator only needed capacity at the moment of signing. Dementia patients can have lucid periods with sufficient capacity, even if they later declined significantly.

Margaret, 82, updated her will in June 2022. She died in March 2024. Her grandson challenged, claiming dementia.

Her executor obtained GP records showing mild cognitive impairment diagnosed in January 2023—seven months after the will. The solicitor's notes from June 2022 recorded Margaret explaining her assets, her children's situations, and why she was leaving extra to her disabled daughter.

An expert geriatrician reviewed the records and concluded Margaret had clear capacity in June 2022 based on the absence of diagnosis then, rational will provisions, and the solicitor's detailed notes of coherent explanations.

The challenge failed. The court found clear capacity at signing despite later decline.

Medical evidence combined with solicitor's contemporaneous notes of rational decision-making creates a formidable defense against capacity challenges.

Understanding Costs: Who Pays and How Much?

The fear of unlimited legal costs terrifies executors more than almost anything else. Understanding the cost structure and risk allocation helps you make rational decisions.

Cost ranges vary dramatically by stage. Pre-litigation and early settlement typically cost £3,000-£8,000 per party. If the case proceeds further, costs reach £8,000-£15,000 before trial preparation. Trial preparation runs £20,000-£35,000, and a full trial can cost £35,000-£100,000+ in straightforward cases.

Complex cases with multiple experts, extensive disclosure, or novel legal issues can exceed these ranges significantly.

The general rule is "loser pays." Under Civil Procedure Rules Part 44, the unsuccessful party typically pays the winner's legal costs plus their own costs.

But important exceptions exist. If the court finds the dispute was caused by the deceased—an ambiguous will, suspicious circumstances, or inadequate explanation of changes—costs may come from the estate rather than the losing party.

If the challenger had reasonable grounds for bringing the claim despite losing, the court may order each party to pay their own costs rather than imposing the full burden on the loser.

Executors acting neutrally in the estate's interest are entitled to recover their reasonable legal costs from the estate regardless of outcome. This protection is crucial—it means you can defend properly without personal financial risk, as long as you're acting in the estate's best interests rather than your personal benefit.

Beneficiaries defending personally pay their own costs unless they win and obtain a costs order. This creates substantial financial exposure.

Courts may penalize parties who unreasonably refuse alternative dispute resolution with "indemnity basis" costs—paying the opponent's costs even if disproportionate. This makes unreasonable refusal to mediate very expensive.

Helen's brother challenged their father's £300,000 will claiming undue influence. Helen defended personally as a beneficiary. After 14 months, just before trial, her brother's case collapsed when witness statements contradicted his claims.

Total costs: Helen £32,000, her brother £38,000. The court applied "loser pays"—her brother was ordered to pay Helen's £32,000 plus his own £38,000, totaling £70,000 exposure.

But because Helen defended as beneficiary rather than neutral executor, she had to pay her £32,000 first, then try to recover it from her brother who had limited means. An executor defense would have protected her from this cash flow risk entirely.

The estate depletion risk is real. Legal costs can consume significant portions of estates. Spending £50,000 defending a £200,000 estate means 25% disappears to lawyers rather than beneficiaries.

Understanding these cost dynamics is essential for rational decision-making about settlement versus litigation.

When to Settle vs. When to Fight: Strategic Decision-Making

Most executors face an agonizing choice: fight on principle or settle for commercial reasons. Understanding the decision framework prevents expensive mistakes.

Approximately 92% of civil mediation cases settle, avoiding trial entirely. Mediation success rates consistently exceed 90%, with most settling on the day or shortly after.

The cost difference is dramatic. Mediation typically costs £1,500-£3,000 per party for a single day session. Trial costs £20,000-£50,000+ per party, with months or years of preparation and uncertainty.

Courts actively expect parties to attempt alternative dispute resolution before trial. Judges may impose adverse costs orders on parties who unreasonably refuse mediation, even if they eventually win at trial.

Consider settlement when the challenger has some evidence raising genuine doubt about capacity or validity, costs exposure exceeds the value of the dispute, the estate can't afford protracted litigation, or beneficiaries want certainty and closure over principle.

Consider fighting when you have overwhelming evidence of capacity and validity, the challenge is clearly opportunistic with no credible evidence, the challenger refuses any reasonable settlement, or you're defending an important principle or the testator's clear wishes.

Red flags for weak challenges include: the challenger won't share any evidence supporting their claim, they demand settlement before any disclosure, they make threats without legal basis, or they fundamentally misunderstand the law.

Thomas's aunt left him her £180,000 flat. His cousin claimed undue influence, alleging Thomas had isolated their aunt from family.

Thomas had good evidence: the aunt's solicitor's notes showing she contacted the firm independently, witnesses confirming no isolation, and medical records showing capacity. But defending to trial would cost £35,000+ with risk of paying his cousin's costs too if he lost.

In mediation, Thomas offered £40,000 settlement—22% of the estate. His cousin accepted. Thomas kept £140,000 minus £3,000 mediation costs.

If he'd fought and won, he might have kept £145,000 (£180,000 minus £35,000 costs) but risked losing far more if the court found any validity in his cousin's claims. Mediation was the rational choice.

Settlement negotiation requires commercial realism. Focus on the cost-benefit analysis rather than emotional reactions about principle or fairness. Consider structured settlements addressing specific concerns rather than simple cash payments.

Part 36 offers create formal settlement proposals with costs consequences if refused and the opponent does worse at trial. These can be powerful negotiating tools.

The parties who successfully defend estates are those who separate emotion from economics, gather strong evidence quickly, and make strategic settlement decisions based on rational cost-benefit analysis rather than righteous anger.

Understanding the procedural timeline helps you anticipate decisions and costs at each stage.

Stage 1: Initial Challenge (Weeks 1-4)

You receive a pre-action letter setting out the challenge grounds and requesting information, or a caveat notice preventing probate grant. Instruct a solicitor immediately—most executors facing claims over £50,000 benefit from early legal advice.

Gather initial evidence and respond to reasonable information requests. The pre-action protocol requires parties to exchange information and attempt resolution before issuing court proceedings.

Stage 2: Pre-Action Protocol (Months 1-3)

Exchange evidence and expert reports. Respond to Larke v Nugus requests if the will was solicitor-prepared. Attempt settlement negotiation and pre-action alternative dispute resolution.

Courts expect compliance with pre-action protocols. Failure to engage reasonably can result in costs penalties later.

Stage 3: Court Proceedings (Months 3-6)

If settlement fails, the challenger issues a claim. You must file acknowledgment of service within 14 days and a defense within 28 days. Both parties exchange documents through disclosure, and witness statements are prepared and exchanged.

Court rules under Civil Procedure Rules Part 57 govern probate proceedings specifically.

Stage 4: Case Management (Months 6-12)

The court holds a case management conference to give directions for the remainder of the case. Directions typically cover expert evidence, further disclosure if needed, and costs budgeting to control expenditure.

This is usually the final realistic settlement window before costs escalate dramatically for trial preparation.

Stage 5: Trial Preparation (Months 12-18)

Expert reports are finalized and exchanged. Witness statements are served. Trial bundles containing all relevant documents are prepared. Both sides prepare legal arguments and skeleton arguments for the judge.

Costs accelerate rapidly during this period.

Stage 6: Trial (Months 18-24+)

Will dispute trials typically last 2-5 days depending on complexity. Witnesses give oral evidence and are cross-examined. The judge considers all evidence and delivers a judgment, followed by arguments about costs.

Rachel received a challenge letter in April claiming her father lacked capacity. Her timeline: April—instructed solicitor (£3,500 retainer). May—gathered medical records and solicitor's file. June—obtained Larke v Nugus statement and expert report (£4,200). July—mediation attempted but failed.

August—claim issued. September—filed defense. October-December—disclosure and witness statements (costs now £14,000). January—case management hearing, trial listed for June (estimated total £28,000 if trial proceeds).

March—renewed settlement negotiations. April—settled for £35,000 payment to challenger (total cost £18,000 including settlement). She avoided further £10,000 costs and the risk of a £60,000+ costs order if she'd lost at trial.

The key is recognizing that each procedural stage offers a settlement window. The earlier you settle with strong evidence, the lower your total costs exposure.

Protecting Future Estates: How to Make Challenge-Proof Wills

If you're defending a challenge now, you've learned exactly why proper documentation matters. Apply these lessons to your own will to protect your beneficiaries from similar stress.

Follow the "Golden Rule" from Kenward v Adams (1975): for elderly or seriously ill testators, obtain a medical practitioner's capacity assessment before will signing. A GP or specialist confirms understanding of will-making, extent of property, potential beneficiaries, and rational decision-making.

Detailed attendance notes from your solicitor create powerful evidence. The solicitor should record your instructions in your own words, your explanation of reasons for dispositions, questions asked and your answers, and their assessment of your capacity and demeanor.

Choose independent witnesses carefully. Under Section 15 of the Wills Act 1837, if a beneficiary or their spouse witnesses a will, that beneficiary's gift becomes void. Always use independent witnesses who receive nothing under your will and can testify to capacity if needed.

A letter of wishes provides separate explanation of your reasons for dispositions. It's not legally binding but serves as persuasive evidence of your intentions if the will is challenged.

Consider video recording your will-signing and capacity discussion with your consent. This provides powerful visual evidence of capacity and lack of undue influence, though it's not legally required.

Professional will-drafting creates a presumption of validity that DIY wills lack. Solicitor-prepared wills benefit from proper execution procedures, capacity assessment, and detailed file notes that often resolve challenges quickly.

Timing matters. Make or update your will when you're in good health, not during crisis or immediately after controversial family events. This avoids suggestions that illness or stress affected your decision-making.

Where appropriate, discuss your will provisions with family to reduce surprise and disputes. While you're not required to justify your decisions, explanation can prevent challenges based on misunderstanding.

Store your original will safely and tell your executor where it is. The original is essential—photocopies create execution questions.

Dr. Jennifer, 76, wanted to leave her £450,000 estate unequally—more to her daughter who'd cared for her, less to her son who'd been absent. Anticipating challenge, she had her GP assess capacity and write a letter confirming it.

She instructed a solicitor who took detailed notes of her reasons. She wrote a letter of wishes explaining her decision. She chose independent witnesses—her accountant and neighbor. She told both children her intentions.

When her son challenged after her death, the executor produced this evidence. The son's solicitor advised the challenge was hopeless given the overwhelming evidence of capacity and knowledge. He withdrew before proceedings were issued.

The estates that successfully resist challenges are those with comprehensive evidence from the start—detailed solicitor notes, capacity assessments, independent witnesses, and clear documentation of intentions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Defending Will Challenges

Q: What is the success rate of will challenges in the UK?

A: Most will challenges fail, with approximately 92% of disputes settling before trial through mediation or negotiation. Courts require compelling evidence to invalidate a will, and executors defending properly executed wills with good documentation typically succeed in upholding the testator's wishes.

Q: How much does it cost to defend a will challenge in the UK?

A: Defending a will challenge that reaches trial typically costs £20,000-£50,000+ per party, though most cases settle earlier for much less. Executors acting in the estate's interests may recover their reasonable legal costs from the estate, while beneficiaries defending personally usually pay their own costs unless they win and obtain a costs order.

Q: What evidence do I need to defend against a testamentary capacity challenge?

A: The strongest evidence includes the deceased's medical records, the solicitor's file notes from will preparation, witness statements from those present during signing, and expert medical opinion on capacity. If the will was properly executed and appears rational, the court presumes capacity existed, and challengers must prove otherwise.

Q: What is a Larke v Nugus statement and when is it required?

A: A Larke v Nugus statement is a detailed account from the solicitor who prepared the will, explaining the circumstances of its preparation and execution. It's typically requested when serious validity concerns exist and should be provided within 2-3 weeks, usually costing under £750 plus VAT.

Q: Can executors recover their legal costs when defending a will?

A: Executors who remain neutral and act in the estate's best interests are generally entitled to recover their reasonable legal costs from the estate, regardless of the outcome. However, if an executor defends the will for personal benefit rather than the estate's interests, they may have to pay their own costs.

Q: Should I settle a will challenge or fight it in court?

A: Settlement through mediation is usually advisable, as 92% of will disputes settle before trial. Mediation costs £1,500-£3,000 per party versus £20,000-£50,000+ for trial. Courts expect parties to attempt alternative dispute resolution and may penalize those who unreasonably refuse with adverse costs orders.

Q: What happens if I lose a will challenge defense?

A: Under the "loser pays" rule, the unsuccessful party typically pays the winner's legal costs plus their own. However, if the court finds the deceased created the dispute (unclear will, questionable circumstances), costs may come from the estate. Total exposure can reach £40,000-£100,000+ in contested trials.

Conclusion

Defending a will challenge successfully requires immediate action, strategic evidence gathering, and rational cost-benefit decision-making.

Key takeaways:

  • Immediately gather critical evidence: medical records, solicitor's file, witness statements, and expert opinions. The first four weeks are critical—evidence quality often determines whether challenges settle early or proceed to expensive litigation.

  • Understand your role: executors defending neutrally can recover costs from the estate, but beneficiaries defending personally face significant financial exposure if unsuccessful. Choose your defensive position carefully based on your fiduciary duties and personal interests.

  • Consider settlement seriously: approximately 92% of civil mediation cases settle because the cost-benefit analysis favors negotiated resolution. Mediation costs £1,500-£3,000 per party versus £20,000-£50,000+ for trial, and courts penalize parties who unreasonably refuse alternative dispute resolution.

  • Request a Larke v Nugus statement if the will was solicitor-prepared. This detailed account of preparation circumstances often provides overwhelming evidence that resolves challenges quickly, saving tens of thousands in litigation costs.

  • Protect your own beneficiaries by creating a challenge-resistant will now: use professional drafting, obtain capacity assessments if elderly or ill, keep detailed attendance notes, choose independent witnesses, and explain your intentions clearly. Most challenges succeed because of poor documentation, not invalid intentions.

Defending a will challenge isn't just about legal procedure—it's about honoring someone's carefully considered wishes and protecting their legacy from being overturned. Whether you're facing a challenge now or want to prevent your own estate from facing similar disputes, the evidence and documentation you gather today determines the outcome tomorrow. The executors and beneficiaries who successfully defend estates are those who act quickly, gather comprehensive evidence, and make strategic decisions about settlement versus litigation based on cold commercial reality rather than emotional reaction.
