Your client is the son of a now-deceased quadriplegic who wrote his Last Will and Testament and left everything to his twenty-fo
ur-hour caregiver, who had been living with him since 2011. You tell your client that you think the will was defective due to the defense of bilateral mistake.
The bilateral error can be observed when an essential error occurs in a document, contract or Will, with the two parts involved, that is, the parties involved in the document did not consent to the placement of a specific clause, which makes the document has a defect that invalidates it and must be investigated and repaired. This investigation is what will happen in Will shown in the question above, as the lawyer suspects that this presents a bilateral error.
