Dedicated specialist Will Dispute Solicitors

If you consider that a Will may be invalid because the deceased lacked testamentary capacity or that a Will may be invalid because of undue influence, our Will Disputes solicitors are able to explain the steps you might take to investigate your concerns and we will then provide specialist advice as to whether there are arguable grounds to pursue a challenge.

There may be occasions when the personal representatives and beneficiaries disagree as to aspects of the administration of an estate. Our Will Disputes solicitors are able to advise as to how such disputes might be addressed and resolved either informally or through Court application.

This may be appropriate when there is an allegation that the personal representatives have failed to act in accordance with their duties.

If a beneficiary has suffered a loss as a result of negligence advice given to the testator or a negligently drafted Will, they may have a claim against the Will drafter. Our Will disputes specialists will be able to advise if you have a claim.

In certain circumstances, a mistake in the drafting of a Will can be addressed by obtaining a Court order for rectification. This is a technical area requiring specialist legal advice from a Will Disputes solicitor.

The wording of the Will may be unclear, requiring Court intervention to rule on the meaning of a word or phrase. Our Will Disputes solicitors will be able to advise where there is ambiguity on the construction of a Will.

This often involves gifts by Will to a charity which may be disputed on a number of grounds including uncertainty as to the exact identity of the charity which the testator wanted to benefit. Our Will Disputes solicitors work alongside our specialist charities team to reach a resolution.

Our Will Disputes solicitors advise as to whether eligible claimants may have grounds for arguing that the provision made for them by Will or intestacy might be challenged on the grounds it is insufficient for their needs.
