Check if anyone receiving a gift under the will is a witness. They ''may'' be able to inherit under a will. The witness has to apply to court and show that the will-maker intended to make the gift ''even though'' the beneficiary was a witness. If the court isn’t satisfied, the gift to the witness is void. Either way, the remainder of the will won’t be affected. | Check if anyone receiving a gift under the will is a witness. They ''may'' be able to inherit under a will.
