What does contentious probate involve?
- Validity challenges: Disputing a will on grounds such as lack of capacity, undue influence, or fraud.
- Interpretation disputes: Conflicts over ambiguous or unclear terms in the will that may not reflect the deceased’s true intentions.
- Beneficiary disagreements: Disputes among heirs or beneficiaries regarding their entitlements or the fairness of the estate distribution.
- Executor or trustee conduct: Allegations that the executor or trustee has breached their fiduciary duties, mismanaged the estate, or acted in bad faith.
- Delays and costs: Extended litigation that can delay the probate process and increase legal costs for all parties involved.
How can a solicitor help with contentious probate, and what does it cost?
A specialist in wills, trusts, and estate disputes can:
- Assess your case: Review all relevant documents and evidence to determine the strength of your claim and identify the best legal strategy.
- Advise on settlement options: Work towards a negotiated resolution through mediation or settlement discussions to avoid lengthy court proceedings.
- Represent you in court: Prepare your case for litigation, present evidence, and advocate on your behalf in contentious probate hearings.
- Guide you through the legal process: Provide clear advice on potential outcomes, timelines, and risks involved in contesting the will.
Costs depend on the complexity of the dispute and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, while fixed-fee or staged-fee arrangements may be available for specific phases of the case. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, estimate likely expenses, and decide on the best course of action for resolving your contentious probate matter.
