The scope of disputes that can be brought under the banner of contentious probate is vast. This can range from challenges to the validity of a Will, interpreting its meaning or disputing the drafting of it. However, difficulty is also experienced when those tasked with administering and distributing the deceased person’s estate fail to do so properly or even in such a way as to raise suspicion that those entitled are not getting what they should.

It is also not uncommon for disputes to arise where there is no Will at all. In such cases, the law sets out who should inherit and this can still lead to disputes between family members. These are known as intestacy claims and we can help you pursue your entitlements. The majority of these claims are funded by the losing party paying their own costs or a fixed fee, with the exception of where a Beddoe Order is in place.
