How can we help?

How can we help?

Our clients in London, Kent and Surrey include multiple generations of the same families. We earn our repeat business by providing a pragmatic, sensitive and cost-effective approach to contentious probate claims.

Has a loved one or family member recently passed away leaving a will which you think is invalid, or a will with mistakes?

Are you concerned that the will may have been signed under pressure or that your loved one did not have mental capacity?

Are you concerned about how the person administering the will is managing the estate, or maybe even concerned that the lawyer who prepared the will has been negligent?

We understand that the loss of a loved one is a trying and emotional time. We understand that at a time like this you may be in a difficult situation and looking for advice on your rights and entitlement. Our expert lawyers have experience in acting for all interested parties including beneficiaries, executors, administrators, trustees and deputies and can guide you through this sensitive and complex area of law.

At Wellers, our areas of specialism include:

  • Contesting a will
  • Inheritance disputes and Inheritance Act claims
  • Estates disputes and removing trustees and executors
  • A beneficiary’s right to information
  • Claims in relation to property
