Estate Disputes

When a loved one dies, times are stressful enough. The last thing which you need is for a dispute to ensue over the deceased’s estate. Such a dispute can surface in a whole host ways , such as:

• A challenge to the validity of a will;
• A claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975;
• Dispute as to ownership of items believed to be part of the Deceased’s Estate;
• Gifts made in contemplation of death (Donatio Mortis Causa);
• Conduct of the personal representatives (executors or administrators)

The above claims are all part of a body on law known as contentious probate. Whatever the nature of the claim, we can manage this for you.
