Contesting a Will
is different and
every Will is
different"
Lucy Thomas, Associate
When a family member dies, or becomes ill and can't look after themselves, it can be a very stressful time. There may be disputes about how things should be done and who should get what. Before you know it, things have got out of hand. Don't worry. We can help.
Why use Access Legal from Shoosmiths?
We offer a wide range of services to individuals and families when things get difficult and disputes arise.
We can advise you what to do and what not to do when contesting a Will, and discuss which issues are the most important for you or your family. This way we don't waste time and money dealing with things that don't matter.
Important things to consider
When contesting a Will, don't feel pressured to accept someone else's point of view. Keep a record of important conversations with other family members and take copies of letters and documents. Someone else might be able to provide information that can help to resolve a dispute, like a family friend or doctor. If you're worried that things are happening too quickly, talk to a solicitor as soon as you can.
