Thinking About Contesting a Will? Is the Inheritance Fair?

Associate Louise Low, in our Contentious Probate team, explains more.

Are you facing uncertainty or a dispute following the death of a loved one? Our specialist solicitors are here to help.

Whether you're questioning the validity of a Will, feel that you’ve been unfairly left out of an inheritance, or are concerned about the conduct of executors, our experienced team can help to assess the strength of your case, explain your options and take your case forward if you choose to.

Our Contentious Probate team can advise in relation to:

Challenging the validity of a Will on grounds of undue influence, lack of capacity, lack of knowledge and approval or improper execution.

Inheritance Act claims where you believe you have not been adequately provided for.

Disputes with executors, including concerns over delays, mismanagement, breaches of duty and circumstances where it is no longer tenable for them to act.

Disputes with pension providers, including situations where Trustees have confirmed that no distribution/ a potentially unfair distribution will take place.

Please get in touch with our Contentious Probate team if you would like to discuss your potential case.
