Legal Definitions - bogus will

Definition: A bogus will is an unauthentic will, especially one involving fraud or unauthorized changes. A will is a document by which a person directs their estate to be distributed upon death.

Example: If someone forges a will or makes unauthorized changes to a will after the testator's death, it would be considered a bogus will.

Explanation: A bogus will is a fraudulent document that does not reflect the true wishes of the testator. It may be created to benefit someone who is not entitled to the testator's property or to exclude someone who should inherit. Such a will is not legally valid and will not be recognized by the court.
