27 Reasons to
Make a Will

Contested Probate

Sadly contentious or contested probate (also referred to as challenging a will) is becoming more common. However contested probate cases are often complex, and you need to make sure that you choose a solicitor specialising in this area of law. In addition to our fixed fee online probate service, we have a team of solicitors specialising in both bringing and defending contested probate cases.

Please think carefully before contesting probate. Quite apart from the stress and financial cost a contested probate case brings, it often causes irreparable damage to family relationships.

There are a number of reasons for contesting probate including;

Inheritance disputes – when dependants feel that they have not been made 'reasonable financial provision' from the estate (under the 1975 Inheritance Act)
Claims that the will is fraudulent or was made under duress
Claims that the will is not actually the last will of the deceased
Arguments that the deceased lacked sufficient mental capacity when making their will
Professional negligence claims arising out of wrongly drafted wills
Claims against or between personal representatives or trustees
The will has been lost
