You can rely on our litigation solicitors’ extensive experience to work efficiently and effectively on your behalf to find a solution that works for you.
Preparing for a dispute meeting
Every conflict or dispute is different so there is no one size fits all when it comes to preparing but what we do suggest is the following:-
1. Write down all the questions you have – it is easy to forget something when there is a lot to discuss.
2. Timeline of events – depending on your situation it might be helpful to produce a timeline of events, in date order, leading to you contacting Kidd Rapinet.
3. Other documentation – often it is helpful to bring with you or even send in advance the above documentation and anything else that might help us to get to the bottom of the help you need more quickly.
If you wanted to instruct us to take on your case, we would require the following information:-
1. Proof of ID: valid passport or driving licence
2. Proof of Address: utility bill or bank statement no less than three months old
If you believe you were unfairly excluded from a Will you may have grounds to contest it under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. You can also potentially challenge a Will on the grounds of undue influence or lack of mental capacity. Please get in touch to discuss your situation so we can provide more specific advice.
The first step is to check your title deeds and land registry records. Often disputes arise from conflicting historical use of land so if this is the case, negotiation or mediation may be the best approach. Please use the form or call us to explain more about your boundary dispute issue.
It is possible to enter a “caveat” at the Probate Registry which prevents a grant of probate from being issued. However, this is a challenging area so legal advice is recommended before attempting this step.
If you jointly own a property and one party refuses to sell, you may need to apply to the court for an order for sale under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA). The court considers many factors including the interests of any children in the home in such matters.
