What is a contentious Will, trust or probate?
If you feel that there is something wrong with the Will or trust set up by a loved one who has since passed away, or you don't agree with the way that probate is being managed, this can cause disputes, which is what makes the trust, Will or probate contentious.
If you want to challenge a contentious probate in Manchester or elsewhere in the country, you will need to take expert legal advice to ensure that you have valid grounds and evidence to do so. The specific legal challenge that you may be able to make will vary, depending on the circumstances of your situation, but they may include (and are not limited to) things such as:
If you believe that an executor or trustee is being negligent in their duty
If the Will or trust seems not to match the wishes of the deceased
If the Will or trust seems, muddled, vague or ambiguous, with room for different interpretations
If mistakes were made with the legal aspects of the Will or trust, potentially making them invalid
If the deceased lacked the capacity to make these kinds of decisions at the time that the Will or trust was created
If you believe that the deceased was unduly influenced by someone when they made the Will or trust
If you are a dependent of the deceased and believe that you have been treated unfairly by the Will or trust.
