Upon a woman's demise some of her children objected to the probate of the will which bequeathed her money to one child only, contending improper influence due to involvement of the heir in the preparation of the will, the language of which was not fluent by the mother, as well as the creation of total dependence on the heir, isolated her from the family and the environment.
The Court rejected the objection and found that the will reflected the testator's true will. Israeli Law stipulates that an objection to an execution of the will, on the grounds that it did not reflect the true will of the testator due to improper influence, are independence, dependence, the deceased's relationships with others, and the circumstances of the drafting of the will. Here, the deceased was independent at the time the will was drafted, had extensive family and work ties, understood the language and content of the will and other than contacting the lawyer to set a time for a meeting, the heir had no connection with, or influence on, the will. Therefore, the will reflects the deceased's true will and should be probated.
