Contested Probate
Unfortunately, a considerable number of families are thrown into turmoil upon the death of a loved one.
Our experienced team can sensitively advise you and help work towards a resolution.
How we can help
We are adept and experienced in all areas of contested probate, including issues of incapacity, undue influence and claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
We combine expert knowledge and experience from both our Probate and Litigation teams.
Types of dispute
We regularly act for family members, beneficiaries, executors and trustees in will disputes including:
- Undue influence
- Invalid wills
- Lack of capacity to make a will including due to dementia or other illness
- Claims for financial maintenance
Act quickly
It is a complicated area of law with various limits to adhere to. It is wise to seek expert advice straight away if you need to challenge a will or bring a claim against an estate. We will advise you on the merit of your case and keep you informed as to the legal costs involved and your funding options.
Resolution
We are committed to working towards a resolution and will recommend alternative methods including mediation, where appropriate.
Your claim must be made within three years of the date of the accident (or with industrial diseases claims, three years from the date of knowledge of the disease).
You will likely have many questions regarding the process, and we are here to make it clearer. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation with our experts in Norwich to guide you, helping you to understand each step.

Secure Your Loved Ones’ Future
As life evolves, so should your will. Major life events like the birth of a child, a marriage, or a divorce are all reasons to take another look at your will. We generally advise reviewing your will every five years or after any significant change in your circumstances.
