Inheritance disputes in Bideford

We have a specialist team of solicitors dealing with inheritance disputes in Bideford, Devon.

Solicitors David Lees and Bronte Pettifer are both based at Slee Blackwell’s Bideford office, where they specialise in dealing with inheritance disputes and contested wills.

David and Bronte are part of our contentious probate team, whose expertise in dealing with disputed Wills, trusts, and inheritance has been recognised by the independent legal directory, The Legal 500.

The 2024 edition of the publication had this to say about our specialist inheritance dispute team:

“The strengths of the team is their ability to be thoroughly knowledgeable, stand for no nonsense, and do their absolute best for their client.”

There are eight members qualified lawyers in the team, all of whom work exclusively in the field of disputed Wills, trusts and probate. They are therefore genuine specialists, with a proven track record and a huge amount of experience behind them.

Among the cases that David and Bronte regularly deal with in Bideford are:

  • Claims under the Inheritance Act;
  • Challenges to the validity of a Will based on lack of testamentary capacity;
  • Challenges to the validity of a Will based on undue influence;
  • Challenges to the validity of a Will based on fraud and forgery;
  • Trusts disputes;
  • Executor disputes; and
  • Estoppel claims based on broken promises.

If you are involved in a Will or probate dispute, then it is important to seek specialist legal advice promptly. Delay can be highly prejudicial, especially in the case of an Inheritance Act claim where claimants have just six months to bring their claim from the date that probate is granted.

We can deal with inheritance disputes in Bideford on a no win, no fee basis and we are always happy to consider the suitability of a case entirely free of charge. We also offer a free helpline and case assessment service.

So, for specialist advice from acclaimed local solicitors, contact the experts today.
