What are the grounds for contesting a will?

The grounds for contesting a will are specific – there are only a few reasons why contesting might be legally considered.

You will need evidence to prove why you believe the will is not legal. For example, if you believe the person making the will was not of sound mind or if the will is a result of fraud or forgery.

Contest a Will

How to contest a will

The first thing to do is to contact a solicitor who will guide you through the process and identify if you have a case for contesting a will. Your solicitor will submit a claim to the Probate Registry office, which will halt the probate process. This means you’ll also be notified if anything does happen concerning probate.

If you’re the executor or beneficiary of a will that is being contested by someone else, we’d recommend you speak to a legal expert. If you’re looking for support, we would recommend our probate experts. This can be a stressful time, and expert legal support is key.<

Frequently asked questions

We’re not a law firm, we’re a comparison
site. We help you find lawyers in your area, for the service you need.
We share a lot of information to help you make your decision and find
experts, but we’re not lawyers ourselves.

When you submit your details, you’ll get
quotes from up to four legal experts who cover your area and the
service you need. At the same time, your details will be shared with
those firms so they can offer you more details. We will only ever share
your details with those firms you’ve received quotes for.

We know how important data security and
privacy is, especially around legal matters. We will only ever share the
details of what you require and your contact information with the firms
who quoted for you. This will never be more than four firms.

We are a free service to help people
find legal services. We know that for many people finding a lawyer is
stressful. And if you don’t really know what service you need, it’s hard
to know what to ask for, and how much it’s going to cost. Our business
model is based on a small fee being paid by the legal firms to appear on
our site. They all pay the same, and no firm is given preferential
treatment or priority. We recommend firms to you based on their location
and service offerings. Nothing else.

We only work with experts who can give
you a great experience. We thoroughly vet our partners, ensuring they’re
fully regulated by trustworthy bodies including SRA, BSB, CLC, IPW, IoP
or CILEX. We check accreditations, review ratings, business finances,
online presence, and credit checks. We only partner with firms who have a
redress scheme, so if you do need to complain for any reason, there’s
always an option available to you. We also do ongoing checks and ask our
users for reviews to ensure we’re only working with the very best.
