Contested Probate and Contested Wills

(See also Probate / Estate Administration, and Wills - Making a Will)

 

Following the death of a loved one, disputes can arise over some of the provisions made in the Will. This can involve disagreements over a person's entitlement to be a beneficiary under a Will, particularly where there are questions over the deceased's testamentary capacity, or where undue influence may have been exercised over them by a relative.  

 

It can also occur when for example a family member, co-habitee or dependant believes that the deceased has not made proper provision for them.

 

Our probate and litigation solicitors and lawyers will work with you to resolve such disputes. In doing so, they can advise you regarding alternative means of dispute resolution, including mediation, and will aim to help you achieve the best possible result within the shortest period of time.

 

They can also help with applications relating to a Power of Attorney*, for example to have an attorney removed, and can advise in situations where you believe there has been negligent drafting of a Will, or questions as to the validity of a Will.
