INHERITANCE DISPUTES
We are ideally placed to provide expert advice and representation on disputed estates
Dealing with death in the family is difficult enough, but it is made much worse by disputes over inheritance rights.
Sadly, this is now very common place and is perhaps a reflection of the more complex family structures in our society.
As a complete law firm with extensive experience in both dispute resolution, and inheritance and asset planning, Wright & Lord are ideally placed to provide expert advice and representation on disputed estates.
If you become involved in a contentious probate dispute, whether as an executor of a disputed Will, a beneficiary or someone who has been left out altogether, you need this experienced support, advice and representation.
Wright and Lord have extensive experience in dealing with the following:
- Claims brought under the Inheritance (Provision for Family & Dependants) Act 1975
- Claims based upon the validity of a Will
- Claims for the rectification of Wills and Trusts and
- Claims against Executors or Trustees relating to their conduct.
- Professional negligence claims arising from the negligent drafting of Wills and Trusts.
- Applications to the Court of Protection, including Statutory Wills.
Our team of lawyers will use their experience to advise on the best way to resolve the dispute or concern, including Alternative Dispute Resolution (see our page on Mediation) and, if necessary, application to Court.

Best Conveyancing & Legal Services Firm in the UK!!!
When selecting Wright & Lord to provide conveyancing c15 years ago, we were delighted to find that, despite being based 300 miles away from us, they provide a very efficient and personable service for very reasonable fees. Over the years they have handled many property transactions (residential & commercial), with the usual professionalism, to a point where we also used them for wills and other legal or financial services. We have never felt like a “numbered client” as the team are happy for us to know many of them by first names, without straying from their professional duty of care. We are now comfortably retired, having disposed of our property portfolio and would have no hesitation in recommending Wright & Lord as a legal services provider of exceptionally high standards.
More than legal advisors, a family orientated firm who always goes the extra mile.
