Probate and Inheritance Disputes
At Will It Solicitors, we understand that will disputes and disagreements about inheritance and estates can be highly distressing. We therefore provide clear, sympathetic legal advice, aiming to ensure any issues are resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible.
A last will and testament is not necessarily the final word on how a deceased person’s assets will be distributed. If you believe you have been treated unfairly in a will, you may be able to take legal action to correct the situation.
Grounds for Contesting a Will
Will It Solicitors represent clients who have been unjustly cut out of wills as well as others who may have a claim against the estate.
There are several grounds for contesting a Will, including:
- The validity of the Will
- The Will failed to make adequate provisions for family members and dependents of the deceased
- The executors of the Will or trustees of the estate engaged in improper or unprofessional behaviour
- The solicitor who drafted the Will or administered the estate acted negligently
- The Will disposed of property not owned by the deceased
