Inheritance Disputes
Estate, Will & Inheritance Disputes
Specialist legal advice when an estate, will or inheritance becomes disputed
Have you been left out of a will?
Do you believe a will is invalid or does not reflect the true wishes of the person who made it?
Are you concerned about how an estate is being administered?
Are you involved in a dispute with another beneficiary or executor?
When a loved one dies, disagreements about their estate can be particularly difficult. Family relationships may already be under strain, and disputes over wills, inheritance or the administration of an estate can quickly become complicated
At Bank Solicitors, we provide clear, practical legal advice to help you understand your position and the options available to you.
We offer a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION to discuss your circumstances and help you understand whether there may be a legal issue worth pursuing in the following categories of claim.
Will Disputes
If you believe a will should not be accepted as valid, we can advise you on the circumstances in which a will may be challenged.
This may include concerns about:
whether the person making the will understood what they were doing
whether they were subject to undue influence or pressure
the circumstances in which the will was prepared or signed
whether the will was properly executed
the existence of previous or conflicting wills
disagreements between family members about the estate
We can explain the relevant legal issues and advise you on the options available.
Inheritance Claims
Not everyone who expects to inherit is provided for in a will. In certain circumstances, a person may be able to make a claim against an estate where they have not received reasonable financial provision.
We can advise you on whether you may have a claim, the factors that may be relevant and the steps you may need to take.
Beneficiary Disputes
Disagreements can arise between beneficiaries over their respective rights, the interpretation of a will or the way an estate is being distributed.
We can provide advice where beneficiaries are in dispute and help you understand your legal position and the options for resolving the disagreement.
Executor Disputes
Executors have important responsibilities when administering an estate.
If you have concerns about an executor's actions or decisions, or you are an executor facing a dispute with beneficiaries, we can advise you on the appropriate way forward.
Clear advice when you need it most
Inheritance disputes can involve complex legal issues as well as difficult family circumstances.
It is important to obtain legal advice before taking action, particularly where there may be time limits or where the estate is already being administered.
At Bank Solicitors, we will listen to what has happened, explain the legal position clearly and help you understand your options.
You do not need to know whether you have a legal claim before you contact us. Simply tell us what has happened and we can advise you on whether there may be an issue worth pursuing.
