More information

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.

How long do I have to contest a will?

The timescale within which you should start the process of contesting the will varies depending upon the type of case you need to bring.

The timescale could be as little as 6 months from the date that probate is granted, so if you have reasons to contest a will it is important to bring your case as quickly as possible.

Further, your claim might be frustrated if you leave it too late because the assets in the estate may be distributed before you take action, which might prevent you from ever recovering your entitlement from the estate.

Do Not Delay.
