Resolving inheritance disputes with Wellers

The current climate is tough and there has been an unprecedented increase in Inheritance disputes. There are more people becoming reliant on an expected inheritance, only to find that they have not been left one, or what has been left is less than they expected. There is also an increase in disputes over the validity of a Will with claims of undue influence or that the person who made the Will does not have the necessary mental capacity at the time to do so.

Our clients in London, Kent and Surrey include multiple generations of the same families. We earn our repeat business by providing a pragmatic, sensitive and cost-effective approach to contentious probate claims.

• Has a loved one or family member recently passed away leaving a will which you think is invalid, or a will with mistakes?
• Are you concerned that the will may have been signed under pressure or that your loved one did not have mental capacity?
• Are you concerned about how the person administering the will is managing the estate, or maybe even concerned that the lawyer who prepared the will has been negligent?
