Why Make a Will?

Without a valid will, your estate will be divided according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes. Drafting a will with our professional legal team allows you to:

• Decide who inherits your assets and property
• Appoint executors you trust to handle your estate
• Provide for your partner, children, or dependents
• Minimise inheritance tax through proper planning
• Make charitable gifts or personal legacies

Our solicitors for wills provide friendly, practical advice to ensure your will is legally sound and fully reflects your intentions.

Will Disputes and Contested Estates

Disputes over wills can be emotional and complex. Our will dispute solicitors are experienced in resolving disagreements through negotiation or, where necessary, court action.

We handle cases involving:

• Claims of undue influence or lack of capacity
• Disputes over inheritance or executorship
• Challenges under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
• Allegations of fraud or negligence in will drafting

We pride ourselves on taking an approach that is practical and sensitive, focusing on finding fair resolutions while protecting family relationships wherever possible.

Why Some People May Dispute a Will

There are several reasons why a person might choose to dispute a will. In some cases, family members or beneficiaries believe that the will does not reflect the true wishes of the deceased — perhaps due to undue influence, lack of mental capacity, or concerns that the will was not properly executed in line with legal requirements. 

Others may feel that they have been unfairly excluded or that insufficient financial provision has been made for them under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. 

Will disputes can also arise if multiple versions of a will exist, if the wording is ambiguous, or if there are suspicions of fraud or negligence. Whatever the cause, it’s important to seek early advice from our experienced will dispute solicitors to protect your rights and work towards a fair resolution.

Lasting Power of Attorney and Estate Planning

As part of our will and estate services, we can also help you set up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) to ensure your financial and medical decisions are protected if you become unable to make them yourself.

We advise on:

• Property and financial affairs LPAs
• Health and welfare LPAs
• Appointing and guiding your attorneys
• Registering LPAs with the Office of the Public Guardian

Combining a will with a power of attorney ensures your affairs are fully managed according to your wishes, both during your lifetime and after.
