Contentious Probate

Our litigation team are highly experienced in all aspects of Contentious Trust and Contentious Probate work. We have an excellent track record of success in resolving disputes by negotiation, mediation or at trial both in the County Court and the High Court

Recent matters include:

• Pursuing a trustee for breach of trust in connection with self-dealing of trust assets at an undervalue.
• Rectifying property transactions effected by a trustee which were not in the best interests of the trust.
• Several mediations and court actions in claims under the Inheritance Act resulting in very favourable resolutions for clients.
• Investigating and revoking wills on the grounds of want of due execution and want of capacity.

We recognise that any disputes concerning a Will can be extremely upsetting. If you find yourself in a situation where there is a Will dispute, or a disagreement following a death when no Will has been made, we can provide expert legal advice, sensitively delivered.

It is important in these circumstances to consult an expert because the law regarding how Wills are drawn up and executed is complex. So too are the complicated provisions of dispute law.

We appreciate also that often these disagreements come in the context of a very personal scenario, often during or in the wake of bereavement so our sole aim is to make the process as stress free as possible.

For any dispute regarding a Will or concerns regarding your inheritance please contact a member of our Litigation team.
