We can then assess whether you may be eligible to make a family provision claim, whether there are concerns about the validity of a will or whether you need legal representation for defending a claim. We will explain the legal process that may apply, the evidence likely to be relevant, the important time limits and the potential costs. As experienced lawyers, we recognise that funding legal representation can be difficult in estate disputes, particularly where access to estate assets is delayed. With this, for some family provision matters, we may provide you with a "No Win No Fee" agreement, which means your legal fees would only be payable if you obtain a successful outcome, such as reaching a settlement with the estate or the Court ordering further provision for you.

Jonathan was great to work with, professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. They explained everything clearly, stayed on top of things, and really made the whole process a lot less stressful. Highly recommend if you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
