Will and Inheritance Disputes

The Berry & Lamberts Solicitors Podcast

Welcome to Berry & Lamberts Solicitors’ podcast series, ‘Planning for your Future’.

In this episode, Managing Partner, Paul Reader, talks in detail about Will and Inheritance Disputes and the importance of the Inheritance Act (provision for family and dependants) 1975.

There has been a significant rise in the number of Will and Inheritance disputes over recent years, possibly linked to the significant change in family structures with remarriages, step families and co-habitation. Adding to this, is an increase in ‘DIY’ Wills where mistakes may have been made, rending them either invalid or open to challenge. There may also be concerns as to the validity of Wills, either due to lack of capacity, duress or undue influence and the lack of provision for family and dependants.
Our 'Planning for your Future' series discusses, in everyday language, how planning can help you navigate your way through the ups and downs of life and how getting your affairs in place now can assist your loved ones’ future responsibilities.
