Reasons for Inheritance or Will Dispute

Our team is able to act for beneficiaries, dependants, Executors and Estate administrators and can advise on any aspect of an inheritance or Will dispute, including those arising from the following.

Inheritance Act claims

The Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 provides for certain individuals to be able to bring claims against the Estate for reasonable financial provision, where the Estate does not provide for their reasonable financial needs.

Testamentary capacity and undue influence

A person providing instructions and executing a Will must be capable of knowing and approving the contents of a will – that is, they must be of sound mind and capable of understanding the full implications of what they are doing.

Disputes between, for, or against Executors or Trustees

The Executor owes a duty to the Estate to deal with the affairs of the deceased. The administration of any Estate can be a complex and lengthy process. It is frequently made more complex if those involved are unwilling to comply with their duty as Executor or Trustee.

Lost Wills

If a will cannot be found, it is presumed to have been destroyed. It is sometimes possible to prove that the will was not in fact revoked, by presenting other forms of evidence to suggest the contrary.
