    Contentious trusts and probate

    Families are finding it more and more difficult to balance the needs and expectations of their families when it comes to distributing their assets. The result is an increase in inheritance and will disputes. Our specialist lawyers can help.

    Disputes do unfortunately arise and they are often between family members. We understand that this is a very emotional and distressing time. We also know that disputes can be very demanding and consuming.

    Whether you are contesting a Will, want to make a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family & Dependants) Act 1975 or have a problem with how the estate is being administered, we will take the time to understand your needs and objectives, tailoring our advice to suit your circumstances.

    We can also help if you are an executor, trustee, personal representative or beneficiary facing a claim about a Will, trust or estate.

    With experience in both pursuing and defending claims, our Contentious Trusts and Probate Team is able to assist you with the dispute, no matter what the issues may be. Whatever position you find yourself in, we are here to help alleviate the pain and resolve issues as quickly as possible, preferably before they escalate.

    We will always consider the commercial aspect of any dispute and discuss the choices available to you, aside from making a claim in Court. You can read more about these in our alternative dispute resolution (ADR) blog.

    No matter the dispute, our Contentious Trusts and Probate Team will take the time to understand the issues and advise you on your options. 

    We recently had a contentious legal matter, and cannot express how grateful we are for the outstanding support provided by Porter Dodson Solicitors. From an initial consultation with Chris,  Amelia was assigned to the case and demonstrated exceptional professionalism, thoroughness, and dedication. Amelia was not only knowledgeable but also empathetic, ensuring that we understood every step of the process. Her strategic approach and attention to detail were instrumental in achieving a favourable outcome. We highly recommend Porter Dodson for anyone seeking reliable legal representation. Their commitment to excellence truly sets them apart.
