At BHW Solicitors, our experienced contentious probate solicitors advise clients across Leicester and the wider Midlands on inheritance disputes, contested Wills, executor disputes, and claims against estates.
Contentious probate refers to disputes that arise following a person’s death, usually concerning the validity of a Will, the administration of an estate, or the conduct of executors, trustees, or beneficiaries. These matters can be legally complex and emotionally challenging, particularly where family relationships, financial dependency, or promises made during a lifetime are involved.
Our contentious probate lawyers provide clear, practical advice from the outset. Whether you are bringing a claim or defending one, we will help you understand your legal position, assess the strength of your case, and identify the most effective way forward.

- Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
