Disputed wills, trusts and estates
Disputes over inheritance can be delicate, and we have a long history of settling them with sensitivity. In fact, the Legal 500 recognises us for our ‘high level of success in difficult cases’.
Sometimes we recommend alternative dispute resolution (ADR) – that is, non-court methods like mediation – for a faster, confidential and more cost-effective way to get the best possible result for our client.
Our work includes:
- All varieties of claims over a will’s validity, including claims relating to testamentary capacity, undue influence, forgery and lack of knowledge and approval
- Disputes between executors of trustees and beneficiaries
- Applications to vary the terms of a settlement
- Claims against trustees
- Disputes over lifetime gifts
- Claims over entitlement to a grant of representation
- Actions against personal representatives
- Disappointed beneficiary claims
- Claims for reasonable financial provision from an estate pursuant to the Inheritance (Provision for Family & Dependents) Act 1975
- Applications for statutory wills
- Court of Protection disputes and claims relating to vulnerable adults.
We’re members of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Solicitors (ACTAPS).
