The majority of the time, someone passes away and there are no surprises when it comes to the will. However, there are also times when something is very wrong once a copy of a will is made public. Some of the common problems with a will is that it is not signed properly with proper witnesses, or someone used their influence over the person signing a will through manipulation and threats, causing them to gain financially. It is not unheard of for one person to prey on a sick or elderly relative in order to have the most of, or even the entire, estate left to them, leaving everyone else out.
