Inheritance disputes can be emotional and challenging, especially when loved ones have passed away. Our team handles these sensitive matters with skill and compassion.

What can I do if I want to dispute an inheritance?

If you believe you haven't received fair financial provision in a will or through intestacy our experienced lawyers can help you.

You can bring a claim under the Inheritance Act and we have represented clients in contested cases through to trial. We have also worked with clients to reach amicable solutions and more cost-effective solutions through mediation. In urgent cases, we can obtain injunctions to preserve assets.

If you think you may have a claim, you have six months from the grant of probate to act. 

Our dispute resolution and private client teams work together to address various disputes, including:

  • Contesting a will
  • Beneficiary and Executor disputes
  • Undue influence and mental capacity claims
  • Estoppel cases
  • Claims under the Inheritance Act 1975
  • Negligent will drafting or probate handling claims
