Areas of law we specialise in
Our lawyers are highly experienced in all aspects of contesting a Will in England and Wales. They have dealt with countless cases involving challenges to the validity of a Will based on allegations of:
- Undue influence
- Want of knowledge and approval,
- Mental capacity, and
- Fraud and forgery
In addition to contesting a Will on the basis of invalidity, we are also vastly experienced in bringing and defending claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. Inheritance Act claims can be made against the estate of a deceased person by a range of individuals including spouses, children, unmarried partners and those who were financially dependent upon the deceased.
We can deal with contested Wills and Inheritance Act claims on a no win, no fee basis, and will be happy to consider any case free of charge.
