Are you concerned about family members contesting your Will?

We have seen that attempts to contest a Will are on the rise.  In the past, such claims were largely limited to high-value estates but we are now seeing an increase in claims against estates of all sizes. When claims are made, the costs can run into tens of thousands of pounds and they can take many years to settle.  The added stress of dealing with a claim along with the delay in bringing matters to a conclusion can be distressing for your loved ones.

Our highly skilled and experienced lawyers can provide you with all the necessary advice and guidance when you make a Will with us.  As part of our Will service, we are happy to prepare comprehensive Statements of Reason as a means of providing the best possible opportunity for claims to be defended following your death.
