How can we help?
If you are considering making a claim under the Inheritance Act 1975 call us for expert advice on 0161 696 6178. Alternatively, you can fill out our online enquiry form and someone will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
Under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 (“the Act”), legal protection is available for specific persons, where someone has died without leaving sufficient money for their continued wellbeing.
Who is able to make a claim under the Inheritance Act?
The following people are entitled to make a claim under the Inheritance Act:
Contentious probate solicitor Jordan Davies provides guidance on inheritance disputes, outlining the grounds on which the validity of a Will can be challenged. Jordan also provides guidance on the categories of people who can bring a claim under the Inheritance Act 1975 due to being left without reasonable financial provision.
Jordan also explains the importance of instructing a specialist solicitor when making a claim of this nature and why Stephensons are well placed to assist you.
To bring a claim under the Inheritance Act, you must issue your claim within six months of the grant of probate being obtained or you may lose your right to claim. Therefore, such claims are extremely time sensitive and so if you think you may be entitled to bring a claim, you should seek legal advice urgently.
If you are an executor or beneficiary of an estate, and are concerned that someone may bring a claim, or someone is already brining a claim against the estate, we can help you defend the claim and look to reach an amicable resolution.
The earlier we are involved in such disputes, the greater opportunity we have to resolve the dispute at the earliest opportunity.
If you believe that you have been left without reasonable financial provision in someone’s Will, get in touch with Will dispute solicitors today to see how we can help. Alternatively, if you wish to defend such a claim against an estate, we can help you. Give us a call on 0161 696 6178 or complete our online enquiry form and someone will contact you as soon as possible.
