Inheritance Dispute Solicitors

With our long and distinguished history, it is unsurprising that we have a depth of experience and expertise in dealing with testamentary disputes.

Our team are acutely aware that such claims occur at a very distressing time when individuals are feeling vulnerable and require sensitive but constructive support.  Whilst recognising the need for sensitivity, we are able to guide our clients adeptly through the process during this fraught and difficult period.  Of particular importance in relation to claims brought under the Act: such a claim must be brought within 6 months from the date of Grant of Probate. Accordingly, clients are advised to seek legal advice at the earliest possible opportunity.

We are equally well placed to pursue a claim on behalf of a claimant or resist claims on behalf of  beneficiaries or trustees of the deceased’s estate.  Wherever possible, we aim to to resolve matters pragmatically, economically and preferably consensually, whether though solicitor led negotiation or by recourse to Alternative Dispute Resolution.  Where it is necessary to engage the court process, we are accustomed to prosecuting or resisting such claims in a manner that is efficient and cost proportionate.  We are able to involve our colleagues in the Trust and Tax teams to assist, where appropriate.
