Losing a loved one is never easy. However, matters can become even more difficult when you feel that the will does not fairly reflect your position or needs.
If you believe you are entitled to more from an estate, you may have the legal right to bring a claim.
At Villars Legal, we specialise in helping clients challenge unfair wills and pursue inheritance claims with clarity, strategy, and confidence.
🏛️ Can You Challenge a Will in the UK?
Yes – in certain circumstances, you may be able to bring a claim if:
- You have been left out of a will
- You believe the distribution is unfair
- The will does not provide for your financial needs
- There are concerns about how the will was made
One of the most common routes is a claim under the: Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
What is an Inheritance Act Claim?
This type of claim allows certain individuals to seek reasonable financial provision from an estate where the will (or intestacy rules) fails to provide for them.
Who Can Make a Claim?
You may be eligible if you are:
- A spouse or civil partner
- A former spouse
- A child of the deceased
- Someone treated as a child of the family
- A dependant of the deceased
- A cohabiting partner
Each case is unique and requires careful legal assessment.
🚨 Signs You May Be Entitled to More
You should consider seeking legal advice if:
- You were financially dependent on the deceased
- The estate is of significant value but you received little or nothing
- Other beneficiaries received a disproportionate share
- You were promised provision that was not honoured
Time Limits Are Strict
Claims under the Inheritance Act must usually be made within:
6 months from the date of the Grant of Probate
Acting quickly is essential to protect your position.
