Our expertise includes:

Disputes about a deceased loved one’s wishes or family inheritance are often highly emotional and without the right advice can quickly spiral out of control. We appreciate that family dynamics are rarely straightforward, particularly nowadays where cohabitation, remarriages, and step families are commonplace. Different family members often have different expectations –

  • Perhaps you were made promises by the deceased that were not reflected in their Will;
  • Perhaps another family member claims that they should be entitled to more inheritance, threatening your own;
  • Perhaps there are issues with the Will itself such as evidence of undue influence on the testator;
  • Or perhaps an executor isn’t handling the estate administration properly.

Whatever the issue, our contested Wills and probate solicitors are here to help you through the situation as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. We are skilled at resolving disputes strategically before they can negatively impact the estate and our team includes two fully accredited members of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS).
