Negligence of will drafters or administrators

Negligence claims

You may be able to contest a will if you feel it has been drafted negligently. Examples of will drafting negligence include where a solicitor:

  1. Failed to reflect the deceased's wishes in his/her will to the detriment of a beneficiary.

  2. All or part of the will was so poorly drafted that the deceased's wishes could not be construed or there were contradictory clauses.

  3. Drafted a will in which some of the legal formalities were not met eg as to execution, mental capacity.

  4. Took too long to draft a will and the deceased died before it was executed.

Alternatively, it could be a claim by a beneficiary against a professional executor / administrator (which could be a solicitor but may be a bank or other professional organisation) for mishandling the assets eg failed to invest them properly.

If you feel any of the above apply to you then please complete the questionnaire below.
