Contentious probate

Will and Inheritance Dispute Solicitors

Sometimes, after a person has passed away those that are left behind may be surprised at the content of their loved one’s will (or indeed the outcome if there isn’t a will). There may be a number of reasons why you may wish to challenge the administration of an estate including:

Distribution of assets
Choice of executors
Worries about the deceased’s state of mind or undue influence at the time the Will was made
Concerns that they have been excluded from benefiting from the estate unfairly

The act of contesting a will or making a claim against the estate is known as contentious probate.
