There has been a marked increase recently in the number of families and individuals preparing to go to court over Will disputes.
This comes hand in hand with the increase in the percentage of people who die intestate, or in other words, without using the services of Will making solicitors. These new statistics show the real need to employ the services of legal experts as soon as possible to make a Will.
In the last year or so, more than 50,000 cases are known when a Will has not been made, and this has led to an increased number of cases of intestacy. An even larger proportion of individuals have made it known that they would contest a Will if they felt they were not given their fair share of an estate. Most of these have said that they would go to court and pursue their case as far as they can go.
Many of those who have said they would take legal action to challenge a Will are in the age group of 25 to 34, and most of these were male. The Ministry of Justice has released figures showing that the number of legal disputes relating to Wills has increased, often costing individuals many thousands of pounds. This is why solicitors in Anglesey often emphasise the importance of making a Will to avoid disputes
