When you have been effectively disinherited from a recently deceased person’s will, there may be legal recourse available to reverse this apparently improper change. Although there may be legitimate reasons for disinheriting a family member, other than in the most pernicious scenarios is there not the possibility to achieve some form of alteration and achieve some form of inheritance being received by the ostracized person. For in most cases there is something more nefarious or consequential transpiring that led to the individual's 'disinheritance’.

The rationale for someone being disinherited can include:

- the now deceased will drafter having been momentarily overcome by anger our other adverse emotional state

- The now deceased will drafter suffering from a lack of mental capacity at the time their will was re-drafted or amended

- The now deceased will drafter having been under undue influence / pressure from other family members or potential beneficiaries

- Misrepresentation or fraud having been perpetrated on the now deceased will drafter at the time that they redesignated beneficiaries and allocations
