Specialists in contested will cases
All our contested probate lawyers are experienced in every aspect of contesting a Will in England and Wales on the basis of:
- Undue influence;
- Lack of testamentary capacity;
- Want of knowledge and approval; and
- Forgery and fraud.
In addition to contesting a Will on the basis that the Will is legally invalid, we are also highly experienced in pursuing and defending claims under the Inheritance Act, recovering millions of pounds for our clients.
Inheritance Act claims can be brought against the estate of a deceased person by various categories of claimant such as spouses, children, unmarried partners, and people who were financially dependent upon the deceased. However, a six month time limit applies so do not delay in contacting us.
