Probate Disputes

When a loved one passes away it can be a challenge to manage everyone’s interests.  This might be because those in charge of the estate (sometimes called executors, administrators or personal representatives) either are not acting appropriately or are being constantly challenged by other family members about their actions as executors, administrators or personal representatives. There might be disputes in the family about which route to take, who is the right person to be the executor, administrator or personal representative, who inherits what, or the will might be disputed.

Probate disputes centre around how a deceased person’s estate (i.e. their money, property and other possessions) is inherited by their family, who inherits, and how that should be managed.

Benchmark Solicitors London can explain your rights and assist you in probate disputes (sometimes called contested probate or contentious probate). Some of the contested/contentious probate disputes we can assist with include:

  • bringing or defending claims by estates;
  • actions involving disputed wills, whether based on allegations of forgery, a lack of testamentary capacity or something else;
  • actions to remove executors or appoint replacement executors;
  • applications to court for directions regarding the administration of an estate;
  • applications for delivery up of assets held by executors/beneficiaries;
  • applications to produce wills and testamentary documents;
  • applications to issue and warn off caveats; and
  • applications for an inventory and account.

For specific advice regarding your issue, please contact us today by telephone on 0203 405 4540 or via the contact us page
