Yes, a husband can make a will excluding his wife, especially if they’re estranged. But the wife can challenge it in court on grounds like fraud, coercion, or lack of mental capacity. To prevent this, ensure the will is properly registered, witnessed, and ideally made in the presence of a lawyer. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
