On what grounds can a Will be contested?

In order to pursue a contested probate case by contesting a Will no win no fee, the law in the United Kingdom requires that you have sufficient grounds. Generally this means that one or more of the following conditions is true:

• The Will is legally invalid
• The deceased passed away without making a Will (this is legally referred to as having died Intestate)
• A financial dependence of a beneficiary upon the deceased has been unrecognised
• The deceased's Will has been destroyed or is missing
• Fraudulent activity occurred or is suspected to have occurred during the making of the Will
• The mental capacity of the deceased was or is suspected to have been diminished at the time that the Will was written
• An inheritance was promised, but nothing or insufficient has been received
• Certain 'moral issues' apply that should be considered
• A serial beneficiary is or is suspected to have been named as a beneficiary of the deceased's Will
• A third party beneficiary such as a charity has been named as a beneficiary of the Will

This is not an exhaustive list. For more information please see: Common grounds for contesting a Will.

• During their lifetime, the deceased gave the claimant money, gifts and/or paid for their lifestyle or upkeep (in part or in full)
• The deceased lived in either England or Wales prior to their death
• The claimant has sufficient grounds for contesting the Will (see above examples)

How to contest a will

There are timescales involved and courts may not look favourably upon extended delays. Cases brought late may also be complicated by distribution of the estate having already occured. If you feel that you have a valid claim you should not therefore delay unnecessarily.

Must you be a resident of the United Kingdom?

In order to contest a Will, the deceased must have been a resident of England, Scotland or Wales at the time of death and the Will must have been made by the deceased in England and Wales or Scotland.
