    About Brachers’ Contentious Probate team

    Contesting a Will, challenging probate or disputing an inheritance can be stressful and complex. Our team of specialist lawyers understands that starting legal action is often a last resort and handle matters with sensitivity.

    We have many years’ experience advising and representing individuals in all manner of family issues arising from Will, probate, trust and inheritance disputes and always seek to resolve any dispute using the most practical and cost-effective methods.

    We can also advise personal representatives (Executors or Administrators) and trustees on their role and duties in order to avoid potential disputes.
