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.
