Will and Inheritance Disputes

The terms of a Will can cause distress. If there isn’t one, this is difficult too. QualitySolicitors Jordans can advise on any matter where a will or inheritance is in dispute.

When a loved one passes, leaving a Will, very often, disagreement arises because of the terms of that Will. Disputes can arise about who or what is included or excluded and sometimes, whether there is a Will at all. Naturally, emotions run high and the only way to sort things out is by seeking expert guidance. QualitySolicitors Jordans can help you do things the right way, so you can have total peace of mind. You might want to challenge : 

  • Incapacity
  • Undue Influence
  • Failure to make provision
  • Other Wills and Probate Disputes

Incapacity - This is when you beleive the deceased may not have had the capacity to give the instructions that led to the making of the Will. Such assessments need very careful consideration and we have expertise in assessing capacity at the time Wills were made and determining whether an estate can be challenged on that basis . 

Undue Influence - Sometimes a person who made a Will might do so benefiting person syou were not expecting , or you may fear that the deceased may have bene pressured into making gifts . This in law is called undue influence and we can undertake an assessment to determine whether there is sufficient evidence ot challenge a Will on that basis . 

Failure to make adeqaute provision - The law protects certain classes of Beneficaries in terms of making adequate arrangements for them . Also for some Beneficiaries who were maintained by a deceased person immediately before their death there may be good gorunds ot argue that provision should continue after death . This needs a careful assessment and we are able to offer clear and careful advice as to your entitlements . 

Other Disputes - There can also be a range of other issues such as Will errors , disputes between Executors or Beneficaries and we can offer advice and assistance based on many yeas of experience in dealing with these matters .

Wills and probate

Life is full of twists and turns and none of us can be sure what the future holds. That’s why creating a will makes good sense. As more and more people realise the importance of making a will, it’s no longer seen as something just for the elderly or ill but simply part of sound financial planning for any family or individual.

Estate Administration

Upon the death of a relative, administering their estate is an important step to undertake. In some circumstances, this is more difficult because there is no will or it is somehow invalid. QualitySolicitors can guide you through what the right steps are.

Inheritance and Tax Planning

Planning ahead for when you die allows you to set out clearly who should get what from your estate. QualitySolicitors can help you think through your plans and their financial impact. Our aim is to ensure that your loved ones are cared for when you no longer can.

Probate

When a relative or loved one dies, we can often feel lost and be left asking “what happens next?” Despite needing time and space to grieve, you will have the added onus of needing to work through the probate process if you’ve been registered as the Executor of a Will. Even if you have taken on this role before, it doesn’t change the fact that probate can be a complex process and can take an emotional toll. QualitySolicitors Jordans understand this and want to help.
