The widow of a former Bradford rally driver faces possible imprisonment after admitting she falsified her deceased husband's will.

Patricia Fall, 59, attempted to pass off the counterfeit to probate staff after her husband failed to complete it before his death. Mr Fall had finished writing his will before a fatal accident, but the document lacked his signature and that of witnesses.

His widow reportedly forged the final requirements in an attempt to alter the allocation of his estate.

Ms Fall was due to stand trial at Ipswich Crown Court, before she eventually admitted the full extent of her guilt. Judge Neil McKittrick refused to rule out the possibility of imprisonment for Ms Fall, stating that the offence was a "serious matter".

Tony Fall, 67, died from a suspected heart attack whilst organising a Rally in Tanzania, leaving behind two sons from a previous marriage and three grandchildren.

Ms Fall, who has no previous convictions, will be sentenced next month following a pre-service report by the Probation Service.

Philip Appleby of Rowlands Solicitors LLP comments: "This sad case shows the importance of ensuring that a will is finalised as soon as possible after it is drafted. It is reassuring to note that the Courts continue to take fraudulent wills very seriously."
