      FAQs

      Contentious Probate FAQs.

      Reasons may include believing the Will is not valid, suspecting fraud or undue influence, or concerns about how the executor is administering the estate.

      Time limits vary depending on the nature of the claim. For example, Inheritance Act claims should generally be made within six months of the Grant of Probate. It’s critical to consult with a solicitor as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.

      Generally, you must have a legitimate interest in the estate to contest probate, but specific circumstances can vary. Consulting with a qualified solicitor is essential to explore your options.

      Legal action can be taken to preserve the estate’s assets while the dispute is ongoing. Our team can guide you through temporary measures like injunctions that help safeguard the estate’s value. 

      Executors have a legal duty to manage the estate responsibly. If they fail in this duty, legal action, such as their removal and replacement, may be possible. Consult our team for tailored advice.
