Disputing a will
Someone really close to you has passed away – but you are devastated by the contents of the Will – what are your options?
These claims are distressing and challenging at the worst possible time, when the family is grieving the loss of a loved one. This is made even worse when you feel the deceased has failed to make adequate financial provision for those left behind.
Curwens offer you a professional and highly sympathetic approach to help you achieve the best possible outcome to a dispute about a Will. We do not want to make matters worse by encouraging you to make unfounded claims and any course of action we suggest will be spelled out in advance and highly cost-effective.
Will Dispute Services
- Making a claim against the estate of the deceased (Inheritance (Provision for families and dependants) Act 1975)
- Assessing any alleged unfair financial loss you are suffering
- Negotiating an acceptable settlement with the beneficiaries/executors
- Contesting illegally executed wills or those made under duress or undue influence
We can help you
Contesting a Will is never easy but if the Will has been badly drawn up, or made under duress or the undue influence of someone else, this can be challenged. If you are to act, timely intervention is essential.
Investigating claims like these is often both stressful and expensive in legal costs. We will give you an assessment about whether the claim is cost effective to pursue bearing in mind the size of the estate and your potential interest in it, as well as the investigations which have to be made. These need to be made quickly as there are strict time limits for some claims, within 6 months of the Grant of Probate for claims under the Inheritance Act.Call us now to speak to one of our expert advisors or Request a Call Back using the form at the top of this page.
