In an increasingly litigious society, it is perhaps no surprise that there is a growing number of contentious probate cases where the validity of Wills is challenged, gifts or other transactions are questioned and maladministration of estates is alleged.

Our team of trusts and probate solicitors seeks to provide practical solutions for clients in what are often complicated and distressing situations.

We have acted for executors and trustees; as well as beneficiaries, in a wide range of claims where settlements have frequently been achieved without the risk, cost and uncertainty of Court action. Our longstanding contact with, and knowledge of, specialist barristers and chambers often proves to be highly useful, whether or not Court action is ultimately required.

We will deal with contentious probate claims sensitively, with a view to reaching the best practical solution for you, in an area where costs and risks are high and require the clear and balanced advice that we provide.
