Moss & Coleman Solicitors

Contentious Probate

Trusted Hornchurch solicitors since 1951

Serving Essex & London with expert legal advice across family, property, private client, and employment law.

Contentious Probate Hornchurch

The loss of a loved one is difficult enough without the additional strain of a dispute over their estate. Our contentious probate team advises claimants and executors in disputes involving wills, inheritance rights, and the administration of estates.

We provide support where a will may be challenged due to undue influence, lack of mental capacity, or concerns over the validity of its execution. We also assist clients seeking provision under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 if they feel they have been unfairly excluded from a will.

We handle these matters with sensitivity and discretion, recognising the emotional complexities involved. Our aim is to achieve fair and timely resolutions that protect both financial and personal interests.
