Contentious Probate

What is Contentious Probate?


The Private Client team deals with the whole range of contentious probate matters. These include Inheritance Act claims by family members, common law spouses and dependants who have not been adequately provided for as well as challenges to Wills based on incapacity, undue influence and fraud.

Why use Gabb & Co?


Gabb & Co has dealt with a large number of complex and high value contested estates over the years, and Claire Lewis and Ruth Main are experienced in this area of law having dealt with a number of these matters.  Claire and Ruth firmly believe in trying to resolve matters between warring family members at the earliest opportunity before legal costs rise out of all proportion to the value of the estate.

The team has broad experience at all levels, which enables us to deal cost-effectively with both complex and smaller claims.
