If you wish to contest a will, we can assess whether you're eligible to make a family provision claim, explain the factors that could affect your prospects of success and identify evidence that may assist with your case. Where a will is being challenged, we can see whether there are concerns about testamentary capacity, fraud or other issues that may affect its validity. Additionally, we outline your options, the likely next steps, potential costs and any relevant time limits.
