How can DNA testing help protect or challenge wills and estates?
• DNA testing can be done to establish biological relationships when a will is challenged. Allele sizing can be done prior to death to make DNA results available at any time a challenge to the will arises based on unidentified biological relations. This is typically used for people who are high profile, wealthy or fear their wishes will be challenged after death, post mortem testing, DNA reconstruction, grand parentage testing and Siblingship studies can be done to also establish biological relationships. What is involved in a reconstruction case and who needs to be tested? • If one party is deceased or unavailable, other family members can provide a DNA sample to help reconstruct the DNA the person in question could have contributed. Multiple family members are necessary that are parents, full or half siblings or children of the person in question. The cost of the reconstruction is dependent on the number of family members available for testing. DNA Bioservices should be consulted for
