rectification of will
Under the Administration of Justice Act 1982 s 20, a court has power to rectify a will that fails to carry out the intentions of the testator. However, this only arises when the court is satisfied that the failure was caused by clerical error or through a misunderstanding of the testator’s instructions. The notion of a “clerical error” has been broadly interpreted (Marley v Rawlings [2014] UKSC 2, [2015] AC 129). An application for rectification should as a general rule be made within six months from the date on which a grant of representation was first taken out.
