to make a <strong>Will</strong> on their deathbed. It is inev<strong>it</strong>able<br />
that when a <strong>Will</strong> made when a person is ill or infirm,<br />
there may be a variety of issues arising including:<br />
Whether the <strong>Will</strong> reflects the deceased’s instructions for<br />
the drafting of the <strong>Will</strong><br />
Whether the deceased had mental capac<strong>it</strong>y at the time<br />
of signing the <strong>Will</strong><br />
