Will Disputes & Estate Litigation
When a Will is contested or an estate is disputed, we provide clear, firm and compassionate guidance to protect your position.
Estate Litigation
Disputes are difficult. Our guidance is steady.
Estate disputes often arise at a time of grief and stress. Our role is to give you a clear understanding of your rights, the strength of your position, and the practical options available — whether that means negotiation, mediation or court proceedings.
Challenging the Validity of a Will
If you believe a will is not legally valid, we can advise you on whether there are grounds to challenge it. The grounds could include that the testator did not have capacity or was unduly influenced to make the will or that the will was a forgery.
Inheritance Claims
A spouse, cohabitant or child who has been unfairly excluded from a will may wish to make a claim against an estate. We provide expert advice to beneficiaries in these situations.
Executor Disputes
Where executors fail to communicate, delay administration, or do not properly carry out their duties, legal intervention may be required.
Defending a Will
We assist executors and beneficiaries in defending the validity of a will and efficiently managing and responding to a claim against the estate.
If an individual wishes to challenge or claim against an estate, they should instruct a solicitor immediately as there are very strict time limits that cannot be overcome if missed.
