Contentious Probate Solicitors
Dealing with the administration of an estate after a death can be stressful. When an inheritance dispute arises, or if a will is contested, emotion can often cloud even the finest minds. As specialist contentious probate solicitors, our role is to resolve contentious probate disputes quickly and cost-effectively.
Whether an estate is found to be intestate or there is a dispute over the valuation of the deceased’s estate or uncertainty as to whether it is being administered properly, our specialist contentious wills and probate solicitors act vigorously on behalf of our clients—both beneficiaries and executors—to advise on, or assist in, a resolution. Where necessary, we will bring or defend an application before the court in order to resolve the inheritance dispute.
Types of dispute we can assist with include:
- Contesting a will (for example, issues of capacity, undue influence, knowledge and approval, or due execution).
- Claims for reasonable financial provision under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
- Executor and administrator disputes, including removal or substitution applications.
- Disputes over estate valuation, missing assets or failures in estate administration.
- Intestacy disputes and disagreements between beneficiaries.
Our probate solicitors’ approach is practical and proportionate: early assessment, constructive negotiation and mediation wherever possible, and robust court action where required.
