A quick definition of undutiful will:
A will is a document that a person writes to say what they want to happen to their things after they die. There are different types of wills, like a holographic will that is handwritten by the person, or a joint will that is made by two or more people. Sometimes people make a will that is not fair to their family, and this is called an undutiful or unnatural will. It's important to make a will so that your things go to the people you want them to go to.A more thorough explanation:
An undutiful will is a type of unnatural will in which the testator distributes their estate to strangers instead of their relatives without any apparent reason. This term is used in civil law.
For example, if a person has a close family but decides to leave their entire estate to a charity or a friend, it may be considered an undutiful will. This type of will goes against the natural expectation that a person's property will be passed down to their family members.
Undutiful wills are rare and are often contested in court by the testator's relatives who feel that they have been unfairly excluded from the inheritance.
