Why Do I Need Contentious Probate Solicitors?

4 Reasons You May Need Contentious Probate Solicitors

What is Contentious Probate?

Contentious probate refers to disputes relating to probate claims when an individual passes away. This may relate to estate disputes, inheritance disputes, wills disputes or distribution of assets to name just a few.

Contentious probate solicitors are specialist solicitors who are experienced in handling contentious probate disputes effectively. Often these disputes will arise from family members or other beneficiaries contesting the validity of the deceased person’s estate.

Here are four reasons why you might need contentious probate solicitors to help you settle a claim, and why they can help you.

Remaining Impartial and Diplomatic During a Contentious Probate Claim

Losing a loved one can be an emotionally charged time, and disputes can escalate quickly. Having a solicitor to offer advice and mediate between all parties involved can remove some of the heat and bring a quick resolution to a probate dispute.

Contested Probate Can Create Complex Situations

There are many reasons why contentious probate issues arise, and can range from the deceased suffering undue influence from others when writing a will, the deceased lacking mental capacity or mistakes or forgery in wills.

These situations can be complex to navigate, so having a team of probate solicitors on board can make resolving disputes much easier.

Contentious Probate Solicitors Handle Intestacy Rules

When a loved one dies without a will and their estate enters intestacy, it can create confusion, and doubt into whether their family members will be left with reasonable financial provision.

Disputes can occur when the estate is divided up according to intestacy rules, which can reduce inheritance provision for family members over others. Contentious probate solicitors can help to change this outcome for surviving children and other family relationships to the deceased person.
