Bequest to Political Party Held Void Due to Insanity
Courtesy of the Wills, Trusts and Estates Prof Blog comes this post about a court decision from the United Kingdom in which a testator's bequest of 8 million pounds sterling (more than $16 million) to the British Conservative Party was challenged and found to be void on the grounds that the testator was of unsound mind when he made his will. Of course some might say that the mere act of leaving such a vast sum of money is in and of itself per se evidence of a lack of testamentary capacity. Just saying.
