Legal Definitions - undutiful will

An undutiful will is a type of unnatural will in which the testator distributes their estate to strangers instead of their relatives without any apparent reason. This term is used in civil law.

For example, if a person has a close family but decides to leave their entire estate to a charity or a friend, it may be considered an undutiful will. This type of will goes against the natural expectation that a person's property will be passed down to their family members.

Undutiful wills are rare and are often contested in court by the testator's relatives who feel that they have been unfairly excluded from the inheritance.
