Specialist help in a challenging time
Sadly, disputes over inheritance of a family farm, agricultural holding or rural land are increasingly common. Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be an incredibly difficult time. And if you or another family member have not received an anticipated inheritance, this period can be made even more challenging.
Maybe you feel you have been unduly left out of a Will, or that what you have been left with is not adequate? Perhaps someone else believes they should receive a greater share of an estate? Or maybe you are the executor of a Will, trying to carry out your duty and meeting with resistance?

With expertise across Agricultural Law and Contentious Probate matters, as well as a nuanced, practical understanding of farming operations and rural businesses, our specialist team is able to provide the assurance and proactive advice you need to successfully make or defend a claim.
