What if something is put in the will by mistake?

Written by

the Supreme Court will not grant probate on a will which was not fully known and approved by the testator.
due execution of a will (signing it in front of witnesses) raises a presumption that the testator knew and approved of its contents
probate may still be granted of the will but excluding parts that were included because of fraud, mistake or inadvertence
the terms of a will can be ‘rectified’ by the Supreme Court if it is satisfied on evidence that there is a mistake.
