Our team of eight fully qualified contentious probate lawyers specialise exclusively in contesting Wills and other aspects of this highly specialised area of law.
If you are based in Southampton or the surrounding areas, (such as Bitterne, Eastleigh, Fareham, Farnborough, Gosport, Winchester, and Andover) then our expert team is here to help you obtain the justice you deserve.
Our expertise in contesting Wills has been recognised by the independent publication, The Legal 500. We have been included in the 2024 edition of this prestigious legal directory, which had this to say about us:
“The strengths of the team is their ability to be thoroughly knowledgeable, stand for no nonsense, and do their absolute best for their client.”
The 2024 edition of The Legal 500 also highlighted the work of partners Naomi Ireson and Hayley Bundey. Naomi, who leads our contesting Wills team is described as being, ‘simply perfect’, and standing out as ‘efficient and helpful’, while Hayley is referred to as ‘excellent‘, and a ‘prolific adviser on contentious probate work‘.
We offer a range of funding options. This includes our very popular No Win – No Fee service, and we will be happy to review the suitability of any contested Will case for No Win – No Fee funding.
All our contested probate lawyers are experienced in every aspect of contesting a Will in England and Wales on the basis of:
- Undue influence
- Lack of testamentary capacity
- Want of knowledge and approval, and
- Forgery and fraud.
In addition to contesting a Will on the ground that the Will is invalid, we are also highly experienced in pusuing claims under the Inheritance Act, recovering millions of pounds for our clients. An Inheritance Act claim can be brought against the estate of a deceased person by various categories of claimant such as spouses, children, unmarried partners, and people who were financially dependent upon the deceased.
Again, we regularly deal with Inheritance Act claims on a No Win – No Fee basis and will be happy to consider any case, completely free of charge.
You may also wish to take advantage of our free Contesting Wills Helpline. Simply contact us by phone or email and one of our team will get straight back to you with expert legal guidance on your case.
