Request To Admit

Commonly believed, supposed or claimed. thus a putative father is one believed to be the father unless proved otherwise, a putative marriage is one that is accepted as legal when in reality it was not lawful (e.g. due to failure to complete a prior divorce). a putative will is one that appears to be the final will but a later will is found that revokes it and shows that the putative will was not the last will of the deceased.
