Experts in contesting Wills

Whatever your circumstances, you’ll get a straight answer about your chances of successfully contesting a will.

There are many reasons to explore the possibility of contesting a Will. You may believe that someone had reduced capacity to understand what they were doing? Or perhaps you suspect they have been manipulated by someone around them? No two cases are the same but our inheritance dispute lawyers have seen it before and understand what you are going through.

Speak to us and we can have a conversation about what has happened, and from there we are able to give you an honest answer about the next steps we can take. However you feel about the current situation, talk to the experts so we can begin together.  We’ll start with a no obligation consultation, we’ll then proceed with outlining your options about contesting the will and go from there.

How we can help to protect you and your loved ones

Court of Protection and attorney disputes
At what is a difficult time, matters can be made worse if you're concerned that a person taking advantage of your loved one, or if a person appointed to manage their financial affairs isn't doing so properly.
Defending a Will
You may be the beneficiary of a Will, but are facing accusations from family members that the will was not valid and that you should not receive what you believe is rightly yours.
Estate administration and Executor disputes
If someone close to you has dies then it can be a very upsetting time. Matters will only be made worse if you then face difficulty in resolving the administration of your loved one’s estate.
Farming inheritance disputes
Farms and agricultural land are often involved in inheritance disputes. Unfortunately the disputes are often complicated further by the emotional strain of a farm being run as family enterprise.
Property inheritance disputes
Sometimes a relative can leave a Will that doesn’t tally with what you think is fair. We have expertise and experience of dealing with all aspects of trust disputes and can guide you through the complexities that may arise.
Trust disputes
We have experience dealing with all aspects of trust disputes and can guide you through complexities that may arise. Our team can understand complex family trust arrangements and help resolve disputes to protect your wealth.
