Short answer
Larke v Nugus letter enquiries should identify the will, testator, drafting solicitor or will writer, request wording, execution circumstances, capacity concerns, response received, estate protection issues and any probate claim timing. Legal4U cannot decide whether a will is valid or what disclosure is required.
