The firm manages complex will disputes involving allegations of lack of capacity, undue influence, invalid execution, fraud or forgery. They also assist with will rectification to ensure documents reflect the deceased's true intentions, claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, and cases where will drafters have been negligent in preparation.
