Will and Inheritance Disputes
Losing someone close to us is one of the saddest events any of us will ever face in life. Unfortunately, more often than not, it is a situation that can be made worse where that person has not made provision for you or someone close to you in their will.
This can happen for a number of reasons. For example, the will may have been drafted many years ago and is out of date, or it may be out of touch with the intentions of your loved one. Another example that we regularly deal with is that someone may have influenced your loved to change the direction of the will, or simply that a family member has unfairly been left out of the will. The will could have been carelessly drafted by a solicitor, or may be invalid as a legal document.
Whatever the reason, the experts at The Claims Partnership can help investigate the will and advise you and your family as to whether you have a claim.
