Personal Contested Wills & Probate

Contested Wills And Probate - Personal Lawyers - Essex - Pinney Talfourd Solicitors

 

The Contested Wills and Probate team at Pinney Talfourd is ranked in the Legal 500 and is recognised as one of the leading legal departments for the specialism in the UK.

Our contentious probate solicitors have vast experience of all the situations and intricacies around wills and probate, providing our clients with clear, concise and practical advice at all times. As well as the compassion and consideration necessary during what is often a stressful and emotional time.

Contesting the Will of a relative or friend, or bringing a financial (or any other type of) claim in respect of a Trust or Estate can be a complicated and confusing process. These types of claims are becoming increasingly common with the complexities of modern life and relationships and as the value of assets and personal wealth that an individual accumulates during his or her lifetime increases.

There will frequently be entangled family relationships to consider, as well as relationships and individual backgrounds that all need to be handled sensitively and constructively, with zero opportunity for obscurity or vagueness. A probate solicitor from Pinney Talfourd can make the process of wills and probate easier for both you and your family – providing you all with the legal reassurance you need and deserve.

Our aim is always to resolve disputes and claims as effortlessly and without contention as possible. Where relevant, our contentious probate solicitors will always recommend Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to see if court action can be avoided.

If you are looking for a law firm that can pair you with a probate solicitor who will always put you and your family first, offering a tailor-made service that will take into account all the personal nuances that can occur within family law, we are here to assist.

We are happy to meet you wherever, whenever, at a time and place most convenient to you to provide clear, practical, responsive and effective legal advice. Call us, email, arrange for a consultation through the ‘Get in touch’ form on our website or visit one of our many offices throughout Essex and London.

Looking for a probate solicitor to help navigate you through the doors and hallways of contested wills and probate clearly and directly? Contact us today.
