A Law Firm For Life

It is not unusual for wills to be contested on the grounds that some form of coercion took place in the making of the Will. Irwin Mitchell can help with any kind of issue relating to this area of the law, giving you advice and support from start to finish.

Experts In Undue Influence Claims

In order for a will to be valid, it must not have been made as a result of undue influence.  Undue influence in connection with wills means coercion although not necessarily physical force. 

Disputing a will on the basis of undue influence should not be done unless there are reasonable grounds for making an allegation.  The burden of proving undue influence lies on the person alleging it and strong evidence will be required.  We will be happy to advise further on any will disputes involving an allegation of undue influence.

Funding

We will provide a free, no-obligation initial assessment of your claims and will respond to all new enquiries by telephone, email or post within 24 hours.

We are able to offer a full range of funding options, including:

  • 'No Win No Fee' Agreements
  • Discounted Fee Agreements
  • Public Funding (Legal Aid) 
  • Legal Expense insurance (Panel Firm)

We will accept cases on a 'No Win No Fee ' basis wherever possible. In appropriate circumstances, we can arrange insurance cover for your case which would give you peace of mind and security.  Such insurance will also protect you from any liability for the fees of the other party and any disbursements incurred by us in the event that you do not win.
