Contested Probate in Brighton

Concerns regarding a Will can be very complicated and navigating disputes over a Will, the lack of a Will, or how an estate is being administered can be confusing. In recent times we have unfortunately seen an increase in cases regarding contested probate. We understand just how important it is for our clients to have a helpful legal team to guide them through the process. Our dedicated team of Contentious Probate Solicitors at Lawson Lewis Blakers keep the process as simple as possible by aiming to keep your case out of court and working to your individual circumstances. We have years of experience in achieving successful outcomes in these matters.

Contesting a Will can occur on the following grounds:

• If a Will was incorrectly witnessed or is invalid
• The individual experienced a lack of mental capacity
• Undue influence was placed upon the individual writing the Will
• The Will was created without consent
• The dependants of a Will are inadequately provided for
