Trust Disputes.

Trust Dispute Solicitor & Probate Disputes.

If a dispute arises over the administration of an estate, it can seriously affect the relationships between the beneficiaries and personal representatives involved.

Our specialist lawyers have extensive experience of dealing with disputes and often resolve things quickly and amicably. But should that not be the case, we have the necessary expertise to apply to the court for another order.

Lanyon Bowdler is one of the leading law firms in Shropshire to introduce a range of pricing options – which includes fixed fees and service level guarantees.

Claire Vale, associate solicitor, is the head of our contentious probate department and is a member of the Association of Contentious Trusts and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS) – along with only one other contentious probate solicitor in the local area.
