Inheritance Disputes
We’re one of the few firms outside London with a department focussed on wills and probate disputes. We offer you expert advice and are commited to getting you the best possible result, and we’ll do so with kindness and sensitivity to your situation. Challenging or defending a contested Will is a complex task to undertake, requiring careful preparation and clear understanding of the rules and recent case law.
We’re able to either defend an estate if you feel people are trying to claim against it when they shouldn’t, or we can help you claim assets you’re entitled to if you feel you’ve been unfairly disinherited. We act for claimants and defendants, executors, personal representatives, trustees and beneficiaries, including children, in all issues concerning an estate, will or trust deed.
Our specialist team handles:
- Probate Claims
- Applications to pass over interested parties to obtain the grant
- Delays in obtaining a grant of probate and/or the administration of an estate
- Preventing somebody else obtaining probate
- Revocation of grant of probate and letters of administration
- Breach of trust, duties and powers
- Preservation of assets pending dispute resolution
