Re Templeman
Goss-Custard v Templeman [2020] EWHC 632 (Ch)
Key Principle
Comprehension and appreciation of the claims on a testator's bounty (the Banks v Goodfellow limb of testamentary capacity) does not require actual knowledge of the size of the estate or the financial circumstances of potential beneficiaries; the testator need only have the capacity to decide for himself between the competing claims.
