Disputes about wills, breaches of trust, or claims on an estate, including challenging or defending probate under the Inheritance Act 1975. A solicitor handles caveats, applications for probate or containers of administration, and court actions to resolve who benefits from an estate or to enforce or defend trust provisions. It includes advising on settlements, negotiating with executors, trustees, and potential beneficiaries, and guiding enforcement of court orders in County Courts or the High Court where needed.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The matter often involves deadlines, the enforceability of a will, and the protection of rightful beneficiaries; a solicitor helps secure or contest entitlements, navigate court procedures, and manage complex evidence about assets, debts, and lifetime gifts.
