Inheritance, Wills and Probate

In the sad but all too frequent event of a family dispute, time and again mediation has proved itself the ideal way to find resolution without depleting the Estate with the costs of litigation.  The mediation forum gives family members the chance to understand one another, even though, on occasions, they choose not to meet on the day where relationships are too fractured or emotional.

Our mediators regularly deal with:

• Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975
• Allegations of undue influence and fraud in inter vivos and testamentary dispositions
• Allegations of invalid procedure or fraud
• Allegations regarding mental capacity
• Disputed Powers of Attorney
• Negligent drafting of Wills
• Disputes as to the validity of alternative Wills and/or Codicils
