Contesting a Will: When and Why to Seek Legal Help

Let’s look at what happens if there is no Will. In this case, the law (not you!) decides who inherits your assets. This may not be who you expect, but whoever it is can apply to the Court for a grant of Letters of Administration to deal with your estate.
Where there is a Will it usually names one or more executors. Executors have the right to deal with the affairs of the deceased person. They can (but do not have to) be a solicitor. They can be family or friends and even a beneficiary can be an executor. However, there is a heavy burden placed on an executor and a personal responsibility to see the job through. It makes choosing an executor an especially important choice. I have a few points to consider when deciding who you want to act:
Often, I am asked whether I can act as an executor. Yes, I can and often do if the circumstances mean that it is right. The appointment of an executor is perhaps one of the most important aspects of Will-making, meaning that receiving expert advice is an absolute must.
