Are you a potential beneficiary that’s been excluded from an estate? Or are you seeking to defend the claims of others against a recent inheritance of your own? Our dispute resolution team may be able to help.
Against a backdrop of increasingly complicated family arrangements with cohabiting couples, high divorce and remarriage rates and children or step-children from past and existing relationships, the death of someone close can have a huge impact on those left behind.
Badly drawn Wills and DIY kits are leading to an increasing number of disputes. One small oversight or mistake could render the Will useless and any legal dispute over assets must be carefully handled to safeguard the value of the inheritance. Even when there is a Will in place, family members can disagree about the division of any assets left behind with the potential for claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
