| What is contentious probate?

Contentious probate refers to a dispute in relation to the administration of an estate. It can involve (amongst other things): disputes over the value of assets, invalid wills, inaction by executors, how a will is interpreted or beneficiaries who feel hard done by (inheritance disputes).
