Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a new television documentary series about wills and am hoping that some feedback from this forum could be helpful in my research.
The intention of the series is to profile the experiences of people who have had an impacting will read in their family and how it has affected the family relationships after the fact. We want to look at the reasons why relationships sometimes go awry after a will is read.
Unfortunately people are rarely prepared for the emotional impact of a will reading and it is our hope that this series can educate people on what to expect during this difficult time.
Some questions we have at the moment are:
i. Is it common for people that are ill to make last minute changes to their will?*
ii. What is the general legal will reading process followed after a person passes away?
iii.. How long after their death is a will generally read?
iv. What are the key matters concerning a will that have the greatest impact on the relationships of the family members involved?
v. What legal action can family members take if they disagree with the outcome of the will?*
We are also looking for real stories from families that have had to endure complicated will readings. We do not require real names or exact details, but more a general idea of what happens in a family relationship before, during, and after the reading of a will.
We are also hoping to find an expert on wills to appear on the show, so I would love to hear from any qualified professionals who might be interested.
Thanks in advance for your feedback. Please feel free to send any stories or comments to: [email protected]
Kindest regards,
Murray
