Contentious probate

Bexleyheath, Blackheath & Petts Wood

If you have concerns about the validity of a Will or the way in which an estate is being administered, Aletta Shaw can help.

We understand the complexities that arise with contentious probate matters. If inheritance disputes are not handled correctly, they can become contentious, very quickly.

The growing number of second marriages can complicate family structures and have resulted in the growing number of contentious probate cases in the last few years. As house prices also continue to rise, most home owners leave a sizable estate, even without any other assets. This has been cited as another reason why more family members are contesting Wills.

Our litigation team work closely with our Private Client team to avoid litigation where possible. With the right legal advice, most contentious probate disputes can be resolved effectively, without the need for court proceedings.

Our team have experience acting for claimants, defendants, executors, administrators, trustees and beneficiaries, meaning they are able to consider the issues from all sides, giving you the right advice.
