What is contentious probate?
Disputes with the administration of an estate often arise after a person’s death. These can be a for a variety of reasons such as a dispute regarding the capacity of the deceased at the time the will was made, the handling of the administration of an estate, a dispute over the value of an estate, a disagreement on the interpretation of a will, or a disagreement between the executors and beneficiaries of a will.
We recognise that having time to grieve for the loss of a loved one is important and that this can be helped or hindered by the actions of others. By taking legal advice you can remove a lot of misunderstanding, frustration, and cost at a sensitive and emotional time.
