This area covers disputes over what happens to a person's estate when there is a will, or when someone dies without a valid will, and disagreements about trusts and how they are managed. A solicitor in this field helps people who disagree about a will or trust, or who need to resolve issues around executors, guardians, and beneficiaries. They may prepare or challenge probate applications, review trust documents, and represent clients in court or in mediation to reach a settlement.
Where a solicitor protects your position
