Accepting a bequest from a will may impact your ability to challenge the validity of the will or make a claim for further provision from the estate, depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in question.

 In many jurisdictions, accepting a bequest may be seen as an acknowledgement of the validity of the will, which could make it difficult to later contest the will’s validity. Similarly, if you have already received a bequest under the terms of the will, you may not be able to make a claim for further provision from the estate, unless you can demonstrate that the bequest you received was not adequate provision for your needs.

 However, the laws surrounding the impact of accepting a bequest on will disputes or Family Provision Claims can vary between jurisdictions, so it’s important to seek legal advice from a specialist will dispute lawyer who can advise you on the specific laws and rules that apply to your case.

 In any case, if you are considering challenging a will or making a claim for further provision, it’s important to act promptly and seek legal advice as soon as possible, as there may be strict time limits for making a claim or contesting a will.
