One of the most crucial requirements to enable a valid Will to be created is that you have Testamentary Capacity.

Testamentary capacity is the legal and mental ability to make or alter a valid Will. The test for capacity is assessed on a case by case basis.

The Bequeathed online interview asks you if there is any reason or circumstance which may mean you don't have Testamentary Capacity. If you answer yes, we'll ask you to attend an appointment with our legal team once you've completed the online interview.

Depending on the discussion about capacity in that legal appointment, we may recommend that you seek expert advice from either our Head of Legal or one of our panel law firms.
