There’s a minor spelling / grammatical / typographical error in my Will. What should I do?

If there’s a minor mistake in your Will, it may/may not necessarily invalidate the entire Will. The impact of such an error would depend on various factors, including but not limited to the specific language of the Will itself.

In many cases, minor typographical errors or spelling mistakes may be overlooked or considered as obvious clerical errors. However, if the mistake leads to ambiguity or confusion regarding your testamentary capacity, intended beneficiaries, the property being addressed, or your intentions in the Will, it could potentially cause issues during the probate process or even lead to disputes down the road.

Regardless, to be safe, while we understand it can be a hassle, you should always correct the mistake, regenerate, print out the new Will, and have it signed (in accordance with the signing instructions).
