It is unfortunate that sometimes people do not receive what they are entitled to from an estate because others prevent it from happening. We have helped clients to remove obstacles to receiving their rightful provision, to enforce the terms of a Will, or to remove caveats and secure grants of probate when others are trying to prevent it.

Over the years, we have assisted clients who feared that a Will was defective. This might be because the will-writer lacked the necessary mental capacity, or was unduly influenced, or was unaware of the true content of the document that they signed. We have helped people when correct formalities were ignored when the Will was produced, and even in circumstances when the Will was alleged to be fraudulent.

We can help you if you were promised provision from an estate in return for providing services or assistance. We have helped clients who provided care and domestic services, or worked in the family business for little or no reward, or who provided financial benefits to the will maker. We have even acted in a number of cases concerning family farms. We can assist you if you were promised provision, and performed your side of the bargain, but do not benefit from the Will.

In certain circumstances, it may be possible to secure provision from the estate of a relative or benefactor even if the Will makes no actual provision for you. We have assisted numerous clients to secure financial provision or continued maintenance from the estate of a parent, step parent or partner even when a relationship has broken down.
