Challenging a will (however unfair it may seem) is not an easy thing to do. As one of the only global firms with a team dedicated purely to succession disputes, we offer families, friends, executors and charities guidance on how to reach the desired outcome.
Many people underestimate the difficulty of challenging a will and there is a widespread misconception that a will can be challenged, simply because it seems 'unfair'.
For over 100 years the firm has represented successful families down the generations. This means we have the knowledge and sensitivity to handle what can be emotionally charged circumstances.Even if the validity of the will itself cannot be challenged, there are a number of avenues that can be pursued to right any wrongs. For instance, a claim for financial provision or to enforce a broken promise.
With a team of lawyers dedicated exclusively to disputes over trusts and succession, we can advise anyone who is defending a will or who believes a will is not valid. Our clients include family members, friends of the deceased, executors and charities.
We excel in complex matters, and our geographical reach is particularly useful in disputes with a cross-border element.
