Discover how we can help

It is an unfortunate reality that disputes arise after the death of a loved one.

  • The spouse or children or dependents of the deceased consider that they have been left an unfair inheritance – or nothing at all.
  • A relative stranger or newcomer has been left a substantial inheritance.
  • The last will is not a true reflection of the deceased's wishes, due to undue pressure while the will was being made, or due to a concern that the deceased did not have mental capacity to make a will at the time.
  • The last will was made shortly before death and is quite different to earlier wills.
  • The executors are not acting properly or fairly to distribute the estate.

Whether you are an executor trying to carry out your duties under a will, and wish to ensure that your actions are not subject to legal challenge, or if you are a person who is concerned that merely following the terms of the existing will lead to injustice, we have the experience and knowledge to help.
