Disputed Wills and Inheritance Claims
Contentious Trusts, Probate and Inheritance Act Claims
The loss of a loved one can be incredibly difficult, and the added stress of family disputes over their estate can be overwhelming. Navigating the complexities of the legal administration of an estate after a bereavement requires sensitive and practical legal support. With many years’ experience acting for claimants and defendants, beneficiaries and executors, administrators and trustees, our inheritance solicitors have a well rounded view of these disputes.
We recognise that family disputes over inheritance, wills and trusts, including cases involving contesting a will, can be deeply upsetting and expensive. Our team of contentious probate solicitors are committed to providing sensitive and practical advice, prioritising out-of-court resolutions through negotiation and mediation to minimise both the emotional and financial burden.
Our inheritance dispute solicitors deal with a range of situations including:
- Applications for reasonable financial provision under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
- Challenges to the validity of wills, claims for rectification or disputes about the correct interpretation of wills or trusts
- Claims against trustees for breach of trust or applications to remove or replace trustees or personal representatives
- The recovery of lifetime gifts made as a result of ‘undue influence’
- Claims for equitable relief in relation to trusts
- Disputes in relation to the administration of an estate
- Applications to the Court of Protection in respect of attorneyships or deputyships.
