We have a team of nine fully qualified lawyers each of whom specialises exclusively in contentious probate, so they are genuine experts in this complex area of law.
Their expertise in dealing with inheritance disputes has been recognised by the Legal 500, a leading legal publication which is based on extensive independent research. The Legal 500 includes us as a recommended firm for contentious probate in the south west and its 2024 edition said this about us:
“The strengths of the team is their ability to be thoroughly knowledgeable, stand for no nonsense, and do their absolute best for their client.”
Our lawyers Naomi Ireson and Hayley Bundey were singled out by the publication. Naomi, who leads our team, was described as being ‘simply perfect’, while Hayley was described as a ‘prolific adviser on contentious probate work‘.
We specialise in bringing and defending claims made under the Inheritance Act. Inheritance Act claims can be made by certain categories of individual who have not received reasonable financial provision from an estate. Claimants include husbands and wives, unmarried partners, adult and minor children, and anyone who was financially dependent upon the deceased.
We also deal with challenging Wills on grounds that include mental capacity, undue influence, and fraud.
In addition, we are experienced in handling executor disputes and claims for proprietary estoppel.
We have a variety of funding options available, including our popular No Win – No Fee scheme.
We also operate a free Inheritance Disputes Helpline. Simply give us a call or send us an email and we will get back to you with our assessment of your case and how we can help you.
