A Law Firm For Life
Claims for professional negligence against solicitors or other Will writers can arise in a wide range of circumstances for example where a gift in a will fails a Will turns out to be invalid or obvious tax implications have not been considered.
At Irwin Mitchell we are experts in dealing with claims against solicitors arising from Will disputes.
Experts In Professional Negligence Claims
You may be able to contest a will or bring a professional negligence claim if it has been drafted negligently. Examples of will drafting negligence include where a will writer:
- Failed to reflect the deceased's wishes in his/her will to the detriment of a beneficiary
- Failed to give appropriate tax advice to the deceased
- All or part of the will was so poorly drafted that the deceased's wishes could not be construed or there were contradictory clauses
- Drafted a will in which some of the legal formalities were not met e.g. as to execution, mental capacity
- Took too long to draft a will and the deceased died before it was executed
- Caused a dispute between beneficiaries and incurred legal costs as a result of a poorly drafted Will
