What Is Contentious Probate?

Contentious probate refers to a legal dispute that arises after someone’s death. It typically concerns the administration of their estate or the validity of their will. Common examples may include:

• Contesting a will on grounds of  undue influence, fraud, or lack of capacity.
• Inheritance Act claims for dependants or family members who have not been adequately provided for.
• Executor or trustee disputes, including allegations of misconduct or mismanagement.
• Disagreements between beneficiaries about how an estate should be divided.
• Disputes over intestacy (where no will exists).

These cases are often complex and emotionally charged. Having a solicitor who understands both the legal and personal aspects of the process makes all the difference.
