Contentious Probate

When someone has died the last thing their loved ones want to have to consider is a dispute relating to the administration of the estate. Unfortunately, though, all too often disputes can arise and at a time when people can feel at their most sensitive. Disputes can differ enormously in their nature, from concerns about the validity of a will, the administration of an estate, the removal of trustees and executors, a claim that a will has not adequately provided for those left behind, issues relating to property and other disputes involving inheritance.

There are strict deadlines which differ depending on what is being claimed. Some claims must be brought within very short periods of time so it is important to obtain expert advice as a matter of urgency.

We appreciate that probate disputes can be extremely stressful and we focus on providing you with expert advice to try and reach a bespoke solution as speedily as possible, in the hope of avoiding the need for litigation. We are experienced in advising on and pursuing a wide range of probate-related disputes. If it is necessary to issue proceedings we will pursue the claim in a professional and cost-effective manner.

Various funding options are available and we may be able to take on your case on a no win, no fee basis. In the event that we can act on the basis of a no win no fee agreement, we will ask you to pay the disbursements that we incur on your behalf.
