A solicitor practising in this field helps with applying for probate or letters of administration, challenging or defending wills, and resolving disputes about entitlements to farmland, assets or tenancy rights under agricultural leases. They may also advise on disputes over farming partnerships, farm business tenancies and succession planning to protect a farming operation.

The solicitor handles complex issues of succession, including contested wills, passing of farming stock and equipment, and allocation of farm lands under trusts or intestacy. They navigate probate procedures, distribution of estate assets, potential claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, and disputes relating to tenancy or co-ownership of farmland, with attention to farm business continuity and compliance with regulatory requirements.
