If you are thinking about contesting a will and would like initial help and guidance on your legal position then you can take advantage of our FREE case assessment service.
Give us details of your contested will claim and one of our specialist lawyers will assess your case and identify its strengths and weaknesses– completely free of charge.
This includes challenges to the validity of a will (for instance on the grounds of mental capacity or undue influence) as well as claims for financial provision under the Inheritance Act, and disputes with or between executors.
We will review the type of case you wish to bring and assess whether you are legally entitled to make a claim. If you are eligible to pursue a claim then we will run through the evidence that is likely to be required in order for the case to succeed, and discuss any steps or preliminary investigations that may need to be carried out.
We have various funding options available and are always happy to consider whether a contested will claim is suitable for our No Win – No Fee funding scheme.
We also offer a fixed fee case investigation service where key issues need to be clarified before a final appraisal can be made. The type of investigation we carry out includes:
- interviewing people who witnessed a will;
- obtaining the will preparation file from the solicitors who drafted the will;
- seeking an expert’s report on medical or handwriting evidence; and
- requesting a Large v Nugus statement.
