If the deceased has not written a Will before their passing or if the Will is unclear on their intentions, this can occasionally lead to disputes over the interpterion of the Will and their wishes. If you are planning on contesting a Will, rectifying a Will or even having a dispute over estate assets, our specialist Contentious Trusts and Probate team in Milton Keynes can support and provide you with the legal advice you require.

Our Contentious Trusts and Probate solicitors in Milton Keynes are conveniently located at Bell House, Seebeck Place, Knowlhill, MK5 8FR, along with available parking as well as a friendly and welcoming team.
