Our nine fully qualified contentious probate lawyers focus exclusively on this specialized field of law, making us true experts. The Legal 500, a leading independent legal directory, has recognized our expertise, listing us as a recommended firm for contentious probate in England and Wales. In its 2024 edition, the Legal 500 praised our contentious probate department for being “thoroughly knowledgeable, no-nonsense, and committed to doing their absolute best for their clients.”
The work of our Head of Department Naomi Ireson was specifically highlighted and she was described as “simply perfect”.
We specialize in claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. These claims can be made by individuals who have not received reasonable financial provision from an estate. This includes spouses, unmarried partners, children (both adults and minors), and anyone who was financially dependent on the deceased. Additionally, we assist with challenging invalid Wills, executor disputes, and claims for proprietary estoppel.
Our goal is to provide cost-effective solutions, and we pride ourselves on our success in settling inheritance disputes through alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as mediation. We offer various funding options, including a popular No Win – No Fee scheme, which we are happy to discuss with you during a free case assessment.
We provide a free Inheritance Disputes Helpline. Contact us by phone or email, and a member of our contentious probate team will promptly assess your case and explain how we can help.
