Factors such as undue influence and fraud can have a HUGE effect on a will. More specifically if either of those elements are proved then it can serve to invalidate that portion relation to the undue influence or fraud or completely invalidate the entire will. Undue influence and fraud most often arise when a person is drafting a will or entering into a contract. Courts will find that someone drafting a will was subject to undue influence if they gave into the pressure and did not make the will based on their actual intentions.

Will a misspelling of a name affect the validity of a legal will?
No. The only thing that affects the validity of a will is whether or not it was executed in conformance with state laws, whether or not the testator had the requisite testamentary capacity and whether or not there was any fraud, mistake or undue influence. The misspelling of a name might be a flag or evidence of lack of testamentary capacity, if that name is one that the testator never would have overlooked if he/she were fully aware of things, but in and of itself would not be proof of lack of capacity. There are many explanations for misspelling of names that have nothing to do with validity of the will itself.

According to Black's Law Dictionary, probate (which is also termed as "proof of will") is defined as the judicial procedure by which a testamentary document is established to be a valid will; providing of a will to the satisfaction of the court.
