Inheritance disputes
If you’ve been left out of a will, or believe a will or the intestacy rules do not leave you what you need, you may be able to claim under the Inheritance Act. With offices in London and Tunbridge Wells, Kent, our team of expert inheritance lawyers will resolve your inheritance dispute swiftly and effectively.
The death of a loved one is always traumatic. The impact can be particularly distressing if you were receiving or are in need of financial support from the deceased and no, or insufficient, financial provision has been made for you.
Individuals are free to leave their property and belongings to anyone they choose, under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 (“the Inheritance Act”). However, the Court can direct that provision be made towards the maintenance of one or more individuals. Those potentially able to benefit under the Inheritance Act include spouses, civil partners, children and cohabitees.
