Contesting a Will

Contesting a Will is sadly becoming increasingly common. However cases involving contested Wills can be difficult and it is important to appoint a solicitor who specialises in these cases.

Our solicitors specialise in both bringing and defending contested Wills cases.

 

Please think carefully before contesting a Will. Apart from the cost and stress, a contested Wills claim can cause enormous damage to family relationships.


Possible reasons for contesting a Will

There are many reasons for contested Wills claims, including:

  • Inheritance disputes – dependants not getting 'reasonable financial provision' from the deceased’s estate under the Inheritance Act 1975
  • Wrongly drafted Wills giving rise to professional negligence claims
  • Claims against or between trustees or personal representatives
  • The deceased lacked mental capacity
  • The Will was made fraudulently or under duress
