Will negligence

If you are looking for solicitors who specialise in will negligence then our expert team is here to help. We offer a free case assessment service and can deal with cases on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Our lawyers are ranked in the top three firms of solicitors in the UK specialising in professional negligence law by the independent legal review website ReviewSolicitors*.

We deal with negligent will claims and professional negligence claims against solicitors and will writers throughout England and Wales.

To make a successful claim we will need to establish that a mistake has been made and that the solicitor (or will writer) has acted in breach of their duty of care Before making any professional negligence claim it is important to assess the financial loss that can be directly attributed to the mistake. Sometimes the loss will be relatively easy to assess, such as where a beneficiary under a will loses out on a legacy that they would have otherwise inherited. In other cases the loss will be less obvious and may require input from an expert witness.

Our experienced professional negligence solicitors work in conjunction with both our private client department and our nationally acclaimed inheritance dispute team to bring you an unparalleled blend of legal know-how in this highly specialised area of law.

Our solicitors deal with a full range of will negligence cases including:

  • Delay in the preparation or execution of a will.
  • Mistakes in drafting the terms of a will.
  • Failing to carry out the testator’s instructions.
  • Incorrect execution of a will.
  • Incorrect tax advice.
  • Mistakes in assessing a testator’s mental capacity.
  • Mistakes in relation to identifying the risk of an Inheritance Act claim being made.

We also deal with probate negligence and executor negligence.

We provide a completely FREE Case Assessment Service.
