Inheritance and probate disputes

When the family or other beneficiaries of a will dispute its contents the situation can quickly become mired in time-consuming wrangling and emotional arguments.  The solicitors at George Ide can help in all manner of inheritance and probate disputes, and wills claims and have the experience necessary to offer legal representation on the many issues arising from intestacy or when another legal advisor has given poor or wrong advice to a testator. 

George Ide's litigation services department can help with:

• Disputed claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
• Executor and trustee disputes
• Claims over validity of wills and other trust documents, particularly where legal formalities have not been followed or professional legal advice has been negligent
• Claims involving disputed mental capacity of a testator
• Claims of undue influence being put upon a testator
• The disputed appointment or removal of a trustee

While we are all free to make wills which allow for the disposal of any assets we may have in any way we see fit, the Inheritance Act does provide protection for certain groups with attachments to a testator or when a person dies intestate, without making a will.

Any claim under the Act needs to be brought within six months of a Grant of Probate being established, so swift action is always advisable in inheritance and probate disputes.
