Contested Will Solicitors Barnstaple
Leading inheritance dispute experts
When it comes to inheritance disputes, contested Wills, and contentious probate claims, we’re proud to be one of the few firms in the country that offer a dedicated team of lawyers who specialise in these areas. The team of Will solicitors in Barnstaple include three partners who exclusively deal with inheritance claims and offer decades of experience, as well as an excellent track record of success.
The team regularly deals with all aspects of contentious probate law. This includes claims under the Inheritance Act, contesting the validity of Wills on grounds such as mental capacity, undue influence and fraud, and dealing with disputes with executors or beneficiaries. We’re also very experienced in dealing with disputes that include assets abroad and claims based on proprietary estoppel.
Don’t delay in seeking expert legal advice
We understand the pain and emotion involved in losing a loved one but we also stress how important it is to seek specialist legal advice quickly when an inheritance dispute arises.
Contacting our team of contested Will solicitors in Barnstaple quickly could ensure that you don’t lose the ability to challenge the distribution of the estate or validity of a Will.
The benefits of mediation
Judges will always encourage families to resolve inheritance claims and will disputes before they’re forced to reach the courtroom and at Slee Blackwell we’re strong advocates of alternative dispute resolution, particularly mediation. Mediation is not only cheaper and faster than court action, but it also offers a better chance of restoring family relationships.
Funding
Our team often work on a No Win – No Fee basis, and are always happy to review the suitability of any potential case free of charge. We can also work on a ‘deferred fees’ basis where payment of the legal costs is deferred until the estate has been administered.
