How we can help

We approach contentious probate in a variety of ways, depending on specific circumstances. Contentious probate cases we regularly come across include situations involving:

• Undue influence
• Executor fraud
• Negligently drafted wills/contested wills
• Abuse of Power of Attorney
• Inheritance disputes
• Lack of testamentary capacity

Mediation

Mediation is a widely used tool in the legal sector, and aims to remove the need for disputes to move into the courts. It involves frank and transparent discussions between parties, and will be carried out under the guidance of a qualified contentious probate lawyer.

Litigation

Sometimes disputes over wills and estates have to be settled in court and we can represent people fighting all kinds of cases. We have represented children of a deceased parent, ex partners, will executors and many other individuals.
