Contesting a Will Solicitors
Contesting a will in the UK involves legally challenging the validity or terms of a deceased person’s will. Disputes may arise when beneficiaries or dependents believe that the will does not reflect the true intentions of the deceased—whether due to undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, procedural errors, or fraud. This process can be emotionally taxing and legally complex, so it’s essential to have experienced legal representation. The solicitors and lawyers listed below are highly experienced and fully competent in handling will contests and estate disputes.

What does contesting a will involve?
- Challenging validity: Arguing that the will is invalid due to issues such as lack of capacity, undue influence, or failure to adhere to legal formalities.
- Disputing interpretation: Addressing ambiguities or discrepancies in the wording of the will that may not reflect the deceased’s true intentions.
- Exclusion claims: Asserting that a dependent or rightful heir has been unfairly excluded or inadequately provided for.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting documentation, witness statements, and other evidence to support the claim that the will should be contested.
- Contentious probate proceedings: Engaging in formal court processes if negotiations or mediation fail to resolve the dispute amicably.
How can a solicitor help with contesting a will, and what does it cost?
A specialist in wills, trusts, and estate disputes can:
- Review and assess your claim: Examine all relevant documents and evidence to determine if you have valid grounds for contesting the will.
- Advise on legal strategy: Outline the best approach—whether to negotiate a settlement or proceed to litigation—and explain the potential risks and outcomes.
- Represent you in court: Prepare your case for contentious probate, ensuring that your arguments are clearly presented and supported by evidence.
- Negotiate settlements: Engage in mediation or settlement discussions to resolve the dispute without the need for prolonged court proceedings.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, with fixed-fee or staged-fee arrangements sometimes available for specific stages of the process. An initial consultation—often free or offered at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, get an estimate of expenses, and determine the best course of action for contesting the will.
