  • Outcome:
    The case was settled on the basis that the claimant would receive the whole of the estate, apart from a modest legacy of £60,000 which was paid to the deceased's parents.

The team at Lanyon Bowdler successfully acted for a claimant whose partner died, without leaving a Will, so that his whole estate passed to his parents under the intestacy rules. It was a relatively large estate and the case was settled on the basis that the claimant would receive the whole of the estate, apart from a modest legacy of £60,000 which was paid to the deceased’s parents.

If you want to dispute a will where you feel you have been treated unfairly, contact the contentious probate solicitors at Lanyon Bowdler to discuss your claim.
