Dispute Resolution
More often than not, it is not until a loved one dies that their Will is evaluated, and this is where problems with the drafting of the Will can come to light. You may have reason to believe that the Will does not truly reflect the wishes of the deceased because it was drafted negligently or differs from their instructions.
If you believe that the Will of a deceased loved one was negligently drafted you need to speak to a dispute specialist who can help you challenge the Will. Call the contentious probate team on 0161 930 5151, e-mail on willdisputeteam@gorvins.com or fill in our enquiry form and we will call you back.
