Whether you’re bringing a claim or defending one, we’ll guide you through your options with care, clarity, and confidence.

How GloverPriest Can Help
We’ve helped individuals, families, and executors navigate inheritance disputes of all kinds – from disagreements over a Will’s validity to claims under the Inheritance Act. Our role is to support you through what can be an emotionally charged process, while protecting your rights and helping you achieve a fair outcome.
Depending on your situation, we can advise on:
- Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
- Disputes involving estranged family members or blended families
- Concerns over fraud, undue influence, or lack of mental capacity
- Executor or trustee misconduct
- Legacy disputes and challenges to specific gifts
- Claims made against an estate you’re responsible for managing
If your dispute involves issues like trustee behaviour, beneficiary conflicts, or the removal of an executor, we’ll connect you with our dedicated Litigation team for more targeted support.
We’ll start by reviewing the facts of your case and explaining your options clearly. If legal action is necessary, we’ll work to resolve things as efficiently as possible – but we’ll always look for opportunities to avoid court where appropriate.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible to bring a claim, we can help you understand your position and advise on your next steps.
