Inheritance

Experienced dispute resolution support for beneficiaries, executors, administrators and trustees.

Every year, thousands of wills are executed and estates are administered smoothly and amicably. But, as family structures become more complex and lifespans increase, disputes regarding estates become increasingly common. The reasons behind such disputes vary widely, but they often relate to concerns that the intentions of the testator (the person making the will) have not been respected, or that the will hasn’t been executed correctly. In other cases, the will may be thought to be invalid – or there is simply no will at all (intestacy).

Disputes that arise from such situations, and others, can be difficult to resolve. Mainly, this is due to the intricacies of probate law. But it is also because the intense emotions often aroused by the death of a family member can easily escalate the dispute into a conflict. This means that, usually, satisfactory resolution is best achieved through the involvement of a legal expert, experienced not only in the processes of the law, but in dealing with the heightened emotions of bereavement.

We are one such expert. Thomas Litigation is highly experienced in dealing with every type of will and intestacy dispute, and we are able to act for beneficiaries, executors, administrators and trustees. Whether you’re contesting a will, are unhappy with the way in which a will is being executed, or did not receive what you expected from an estate, our specialist team can help. We understand that disputes between family members require sensitive handling and that often mediation may be a better way forward than stressful court proceedings.
