KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Interpretation of Wills
Interpretation of wills involves determining the meaning of the words used by a testator in order to give effect to their intentions. Courts begin with the ordinary grammatical meaning of the language used in the will.
Where ambiguity exists, judges may consider surrounding circumstances known to the testator at the time the will was made. However, courts will not rewrite a will or speculate beyond what the language can reasonably support.
