Contentious Probate

At Coodes our dispute resolution team has extensive legal expertise in the often complex law surrounding will and inheritance disputes, often referred to as contentious probate.

Many people still do not make a will and very often die intestate. This means that the crown decides how the deceased person’s estate should be split. This can lead to significant litigation. It is becoming more common for wills to be contested, particularly with second families now increasing.

With our specialist knowledge and working closely with our Private Client Department, we can assist and advise you, working together towards a successful outcome.
