The issue of un-executed amendments to Wills and the weight to be attached to same is one that often arises. This issue was assessed by the High Court in 2021, in the McEnroe case and is dealt with in this lecture. Another area of interest for Probate practitioners is undue influence and the Circuit Court case of ‘In the Estate of Eileen Cunningham’ set out some interesting principles in this respect, which are also dealt with in this lecture.
