Our specialist areas
Our Somerset 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 Wills on grounds such as undue influence and lack of mental capacity.
We are also vastly experienced in bringing 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. These include spouses, children, unmarried partners, and those who were financially dependent upon the deceased.
