Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.
You need to challenge the validity of the Will with the Master of the High Court! This will entail an application to the High Court to set aside the Will as a forgery.
You'll need to brief a lawyer to assist you.
I can't refer you to a specific lawyer, but I can direct you to www.southafricanlawyer.co.za, where you can find a list of qualified lawyers in your area who will be able to assist you further!
If the estate is worth R9m, it is worth it for you to do this.
Att. Patrick
