Sometimes something just doesn’t feel ‘right’ about a Will. It could be the way it’s written. The signature or the circumstances in which a Will was made or signed. Or the gifts that have been made. The Will might be unfair on financial dependents of the deceased.
No matter what your concerns may be, we can provide expert advice and outline every option available to contest a Will – including legal action.
To challenge a Will because it fails to make a reasonable financial provision, you must be a financial dependent, such as a child, spouse, civil partner, cohabiting partner, ex-spouse or partner who is yet to remarry.
Whoever you are and whatever circumstances you face, we are extremely experienced in dealing with a wide range of Contentious Probate situations.
