As solicitors specialising in contentious probate law we have one of the biggest teams in the south west of England and deal with cases nationwide. We have 7 offices in Devon and Somerset, including one located in the centre of Exeter at Broadwalk House, Southernhay.
Our expertise in this niche area of law has led to us being recommended by the prestigious Legal 500. The 2024 edition of the publication described team leader Naomi Ireson as, “quite simply perfect.”
We have generated over 1,000 reviews on the independent legal review website ReviewSolicitors, with the overwhelming majority being five star reviews, and achieving an overall approval rating of 4.9 out of 5.
We deal with a range of contentious probate cases, representing defendants as well as claimants. This includes:
- Inheritance Act claims
- Invalid Will challenges
- Trusts disputes
- Fraudulent Wills
- Proprietary estoppel claims
- Broken promise claims
- Executor disputes
We appreciate that fear of legal fees can put many people off seeking professional help with these cases. However, while legal costs in contentious probate claims can be considerable, we do offer a range of funding options. This includes deferred fees and specified costs limits. We also operate a very popular No Win – No Fee scheme and are always happy to consider whether any case is suitable for this form of funding, free of charge.
We also operate a free legal helpline which you can contact for a case assessment by either phone or email.
