Wills & Inheritance Disputes

Wills & Inheritance Dispute SOLICITORS IN READING & HENLEY

It is an emotional time when someone dies and it is even more stressful should a dispute arise about a Will, whether you are Executor of the Estate or a potential claimant. Common Will and inheritance disputes include where:

there is reason to suspect the Will is not legally valid, including its preparation and witnessing.
those dealing with the distribution of the deceased assets are not following the instructions in the Will or are not following the rules of intestacy where there was no Will.
the deceased person has not provided in the Will for someone who is financially dependent on them
the person making the Will was overly pressurised, for example to include or exclude a person from the Will
the deceased had lack of mental capacity at the time they made their Will
a Will has been badly drafted and there is confusion about its interpretation.
