What does estate litigation and disputes involve?
- Validity of a will: Challenging the authenticity of a will on grounds such as lack of capacity, undue influence, or fraud.
- Interpretation disputes: Conflicts over ambiguous terms or clauses in wills, trusts, or estate planning documents.
- Executor or trustee misconduct: Allegations that an executor or trustee has breached their fiduciary duties, mismanaged assets, or acted in bad faith.
- Distribution disagreements: Disputes among beneficiaries regarding the fairness of asset distribution or the valuation of estate assets.
- Contentious probate: Legal proceedings initiated when parties contest the probate process, delaying estate administration and potentially increasing costs.
How can a solicitor help with estate litigation and disputes, and what does it cost?
A specialist in wills, trusts, and estate law can:
- Assess your claim: Review all relevant documentation and evidence to determine the merits of your dispute and outline your legal options.
- Negotiate settlements: Attempt to resolve the conflict through mediation or negotiation to avoid prolonged litigation and preserve family harmony.
- Represent you in court: Prepare your case for contentious probate or other legal proceedings, ensuring that your interests are effectively presented and advocated.
- Advise on legal strategy: Provide clear guidance on the likely outcomes, timelines, and risks involved, helping you decide whether to pursue litigation or settle out of court.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the dispute, the amount of documentation involved, and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates generally range from £150 to £400, with fixed-fee or staged-fee arrangements available for certain aspects of the case. An initial consultation—often free or at a reduced rate—can help you understand your legal position, estimate the total costs, and decide on the best course of action to resolve your estate dispute efficiently.
