Will Disputes (Contentious Probate)
JMW’s team of experienced advisors provides expert legal advice and practical support to parties involved in disputes concerning wills, trusts and inheritances. Whether you’re an executor or trustee, a beneficiary, or someone who feels they’ve not been provided for either within a will or in a trust, we can help you. Alternatively, if your loved one did not leave a will and as a result you have been excluded from their estate, then it may be possible to claim on their estate
The experts at JMW are here to make the probate process and matters of contentious probate as stress-free as possible. We are highly experienced in this area of law, providing a professional and understanding service during a difficult time.
We can help with:
- Contesting Validity of Wills
- Inheritance Act Disputes (Left Out of a Will)
- Will Rectification and Lost or Destroyed Wills
- Promise Not Honoured in a Will
- Protecting Charitable Legacies
- Executor or Trustee Disputes
- Attorney or Deputy Investigations
- Claims on estates where there is no will
