Inheritance disputes can often arise over the validity of a Will, the effect a Will has on family and friends and in cases where no Will has been made at all. Girlings has extensive experience of Contentious Probate acting for family members, executors and trustees in a wide variety of cases. Andrew Watson is a member of ACTAPs (The Association of Contested Probate Experts).
Such disputes can have the ability to destroy relationships within the family for a lifetime. When contesting a Will we always seek to achieve the most effective solution quickly and fairly in order that relationships, where damaged, have the best prospect of recovery and that the expense to the estate may be kept to a minimum. Girlings can also advise on intestacy cases following a person’s death where there is no Will.

Andrew explains that homemade wills is a significant source of work for Girlings, because it often goes wrong as this normally involves property. He also explains that contesting wills is something which has become more common over the last 30 years, the two most common grounds for contesting a will are when someone feels entitled to receive something which they didn’t receive and when the person who made the will didn’t have the mental capacity to make it. Understandably clients feelings around this subject run very high, particularly soon after someone has died. Andrew explains that the secret to this is to get the nub out of the issue and deal with it as quickly as you can, in order to save money and end the client’s feeling of unhappiness.
