Disputed Wills & Inheritance Law

Disputed Wills & Inheritance Law

We have a specialist team to assist with disputes over Wills and Estates. Our experienced team can assist you with a pragmatic and knowledgeable approach to your particular circumstances.

We understand that these situations can be stressful and our team will deal with your issues in a sensitive manner giving you time to consider your options without any pressure being place on you.  Our detailed advice will be tailored for your situation and we will act in your best interests at all times.

These disputes can arise in many situations some of which are:

  • concerns about the validity of the Will or ambiguous terms in the Will.
  • you may have been left out of the Will or not provided for if the Deceased died without a Will.  You may be entitled to claim reasonable financial provision from the estate.
  • you may have been cohabiting with the Deceased but have not been left anything on their death.
  • you may have been dependent on the Deceased and have not been left anything on their death.
  • you may have lived in a property owned by the Deceased (not as a paying tenant) and have been asked to move out.
  • you may have concerns about how an Executor or Personal Representative is dealing with the Estate.
  • you may have made a contribution to a property which has not been recognized or is disputed.
  • you may have been promised something by the Deceased which is disputed.
  • you may believe that assets have been removed from the estate.
  • you may be concerned about a trust that has been set up during a person’s lifetime or in their Will.

The timescales to bring claims against an estate are strict and we would advise that legal advice is sought at the earliest opportunity should an issue arise.

Whether your concern is an invalid Will, a contested Will, a dispute between beneficiaries and executors, or a claim for reasonable financial provision, we have the knowledge and expertise to assist you.
