Contentious Probate and Trusts
Whether you’re a personal representative, a trustee, a beneficiary, or someone who believes they’ve been unfairly left out of a Will, our experienced contentious probate and trusts team is here to help.
With modern family structures growing increasingly complex, legal disputes around inheritance and trusts are becoming more common. From blended families to cohabiting partners, we understand how unclear Wills and outdated inheritance laws can lead to legal challenges.
We provide clear, practical advice on all aspects of inheritance disputes, including:
- Challenging the validity of a Will — due to concerns over testamentary capacity, undue influence, lack of due execution, or lack of knowledge and approval.
- Disputes over estate administration — including concerns about the conduct of executors and trustees, mismanagement of assets, and breach of fiduciary duty.
- Inheritance claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 — where reasonable financial provision has not been made.
- Disputes arising from the administration of Trusts and the duties imposed upon Trustees.
Our team works alongside our Wills, Trusts and Probate team with sensitivity and expertise to resolve disputes swiftly and fairly, ensuring the best possible outcome while reducing stress and uncertainty for all involved. If you’re facing an inheritance dispute, you can count on us for expert guidance tailored to your situation.
