Is No Win No Fee Available For a Disputed Trust?

Yes, no win no fee is available for a disputed trust case and our team will be happy to assess whether your matter is suitable for this type of funding, free of charge.

Our team of recommended specialist solicitors undertake a range of contentious trusts and probate cases on a no win no fee basis nationwide. In addition to dealing with trusts disputes, we also offer no win no fee funding for:

Inheritance Act claims
Contested wills
TOLATA disputes
Proprietary estoppel
Executor disputes

We offer a free consultation service. A member of our team will review your case and consider its suitability for no win no fee funding.

Not all solicitors dealing with contentious trusts and probate cases are prepared to work on a no win no fee basis. This is because it can present serious commercial and financial risk to the firm. However, because we are so experienced in this niche area of law, we are confident of our judgment, and willing take that risk. We have been offering no win no fee funding for litigation ever since it was introduced in the UK in 1990. Since then we have helped countless clients to achieve justice, recovering tens of millions of pounds in damages and awards along the way.

However, to be suitable for no win no fee funding the case must have good prospects of success, with evidence being available to support and back-up the allegations being made.

Not all cases are immediately suitable for no win no fee funding, and the merits of the case need to be investigated before we can proceed on this basis. The investigations will vary from case to case, but often include:

obtaining medical records;
talking to witnesses;
obtaining a solicitor’s will preparation files; or
requesting a Larke -v- Nugus statement from the lawyer who drafted a will.

Should preliminary investigations be required then we may be able to assist on a fixed or limited fee basis. And once carried out we will be happy to reconsider the suitability of the case for no win no fee funding.

While no win no fee is a very good way of funding a trust dispute, we also recommend that you check to see if you have legal expenses insurance that would cover a disputed trust case. We will be happy to look through your insurance paperwork if you think you might be covered.

Client Testimonials

“Executor dispute and contentious Will mediation”

I was in a difficult position with a co-executor that left the estate idle and Slee Blackwell were excellent in navigating a resolution to achieve the appointment of an independent PR. In addition my father’s Will was being challenged by one of the beneficiaries against the largest recipient of the estate and Naomi Ireson was very solid in her advice and helped to arrange a successful mediation. Naomi was ably assisted by Sharnie Jenkins in this matter. “Executor dispute and contentious Will mediation”

“Expertise and Understanding”

I was tentative about making enquiries from Australia with a UK group of solicitors, Slee Blackwell, about a claim on a deceased estate there as an ex-spouse. Right from the get go I was treated with respect and expert advice with Kristi. Anya was instrumental in guiding me through the whole process and I was very impressed with her expertise and obvious knowledge of the situation. If I lived in the UK I wouldn’t hesitate to use this firm again. Thank you to Anya and her team. “Expertise and Understanding”

“Positive experience”

I contacted Kristi regarding an inheritance matter and she was swift to respond and the issue, which has been ongoing for three years now, was immediately resolved. I highly recommend. “Positive experience”

“Challenge to the validity of a will”

Unfortunately, I had to defend a challenge to the validity of my fathers will. Naomi Ireson, with the help of Sharnie Jenkins and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing. It was such a stressful time but Naomi had my back through it all, and pursued the case relentlessly. Her expertise and competence in her field is exemplary and I never once believed that there would be a problem. The team kept me informed at all times and were always easy to talk to. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. “Challenge to the validity of a will”

“Defending a claim made against Estate”

After receiving a claim against my late fathers estate, I was left feeling extremely anxious and frustrated. Chris was amazing, his knowledge and professionalism was impeccable. I immediately felt in safe hands and I received a prompt response to any queries I had. Sharnie was also amazing throughout the experience. I was so impressed with the service that I used Slee Blackwell for an eviction and conveyancing. I received outstanding service again. Thank you so much for relieving my stress, that is truly priceless! “Defending a claim made against Estate”

“Contentious Probate – Establishing Paternity”

The brother of my grandfather died without children, and after a dispute with my family who said that I was not the son of my father, I read a very professional article written by Naomi Ireson that was very informative. I saw that I could ask some questions and her answer really helped. I later hired her and she resolved the accusation of my family. She is also very organized and is doing only what is necessary. Thank you for your work and to all the members of your team. “Contentious Probate – Establishing Paternity”

“Dispute – Breach of Trust”

I can’t express enough gratitude to Chris for his outstanding service over the past year. My case was especially challenging, but Chris handled it with compassion and the highest level of professionalism. The outcome was fantastic, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Chris’s expert advice and support. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone who is going through a difficult will dispute. Many thanks again Chris! “Dispute – Breach of Trust”
