Ask A Lawyer: Does section 7 of the Act apply to Oral Wills?

Response:

Yes, it does.

Section 7 of the Act deems void any Will that is created under fraud, coercion, importunity or mistake.

The definition of a Will under section 3 of the Act encompasses both Written and Oral Wills. 

As such, Oral Wills will also be voided upon proof of fraud, coercion, importunity or mistake.
