We are specialists in dealing with Contested Probate and Inheritance Act claims.

We understand the needs of our clients and appreciate the sensitive situation within which you will find yourself.

The reality is that whilst a claim is brought against an estate it will become a dispute between family members and/or other competing beneficiaries. It will therefore add to your burden at an already difficult time. Our aim is therefore to support you in an effort to make the claim process as straightforward as possible.

If you feel that the validity or administration of the Will is in question, please go to our Will Dispute Claim page.

If you believe that insufficient or no provision has been made for you in the Will or within the rules of Intestacy (if there is no will) please go to the Inheritance Act Claim page.

Negligent Will Drafting

If as a result of the drafters negligence an intended beneficiary under a will is deprived of the intended benefit then that beneficiary is entitled to bring a claim in negligence against the solicitor or will drafter concerned.
