Contested Probate

A dispute over a Will, lack of a Will, or how an estate is being administered can lead to an extremely stressful time. Unfortunately, we are seeing cases concerning contested probate and administration of estates become more frequent. In these times you need a legal team that you trust to assist you. Our sympathetic team of Contentious Probate Solicitors at Lawson Lewis Blakers have the experience of achieving a successful result. We aim to make this process as simple and easy for you by aiming to keep the case out of court. However, if the situation occurs, we have also succeeded in these areas.

A Will can be challenged on the following grounds:

• The Will was incorrectly witness or is invalid
• The individual had a lack of mental capacity at the time of the Will being written
• Unlawful influence or pressure was placed upon the person writing the Will
• The Will was created without the individuals consent of its contents
• The Will failed to adequately provide for dependents

Please see our disputed probate page for more information on challenging a Will and what this process involves.
