We have a team of eight fully qualified lawyers specialising solely and exclusively in dealing with Will disputes and are here to help you with contesting a Will in York or any of the surrounding areas, such as Thirsk, Scarborough, Whitby, Skipsea and Hull.
There are several different legal grounds for contesting a Will. These grounds include, undue influence, fraud, forgery, lack of testamentary capacity, and want of knowledge and approval, and we are experienced in dealing with all of them.
Our lawyers are proud of their success rate, and their expertise has been recognised by The Legal 500, the world’s leading independent legal directory. The 2024 edition of the publication describes partner Hayley Bundey as a, “prolific adviser on contentious probate work” and our Head of Department, Naomi Ireson, is stated to be, “quite simply perfect”.
We are also experienced in dealing with Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 claims. We can assist children, spouses and others who were financially dependent on the deceased, in recovering financial provision from their estate.
