Will Writing Sittingbourne
Roughly half the people in the South East die without making a will. Maybe we don’t think enough about death, or we assume that our assets will go to the right people automatically. Unfortunately, if you die without a will everything is distributed according to the so-called intestacy rules — and these might not reflect your wishes.

Solicitors For Contesting A Will: Sittingbourne
As family relationships become more complex, inheritance disputes increasingly arise over the contents of wills. For example, children of an earlier marriage may not be provided for and may wish to contest the will. To discuss your rights under the inheritance laws, contact us for a low-cost advice session.
Wills may also be contested on the grounds of undue influence or because the deceased did not have the mental capacity to make the will when he or she did. In addition if the will was drafted incorrectly or negligently, you may be able to pursue a claim against the solicitor.
