Your client, who is ninety-five years old, first contacted you in 2009 to complete her Last Will and Testament, which you did. However, she started to contact you regularly in 2011 in the middle of dementia saying that she wanted to leave everything to her mother. Now, she has insisted on completing a new will leaving everything to her mother, and you proceed with it to make your client happy, but also because you know that this final version of the will is not valid under the defense to formation of duress.

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cohesion is the term that justifies the invalidation of an act, because that act has or was performed on illegal grounds. A testament cannot be an invalid claiming coercion, even if the person who issued it has dementia or another problem that impedes their abilities.

A testament represents an individual's last will and shows what he wants to happen after his death. The will is a legal document and valid in any situation.
