How to keep your estate out of dispute

A considerable number of Wills are contested each year. In 2025 there were 1,217 High Court disputed probate cases, the highest on record, and many more are disputed informally.

Review your planning after every life event

A marriage, a separation, a new child or grandchild, a house move or a business change can all undo what your Will was written to do.

Choose your executor with care

A professional executor can make sure your expression of wishes actually reaches the people you intend, without family members having to interpret it.

Be specific about gifts to charity

State a fixed amount rather than a percentage. Probate records are public and charities scan them, so a percentage can invite questions about the whole estate.

Keep your expression of wishes up to date

It sits alongside your Will and carries your personal instructions. Out of date wording is one of the most common causes of family disagreement.

How David can help

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Choosing who speaks for you on money and health matters if illness or age ever takes that choice away.

Your estate planning guru

David has built his reputation on being the person clients actually enjoy talking to about a subject most of us avoid. He listens first, takes a full oversight of your circumstances, and then tells you plainly what needs to be done, and what does not.

There is no estate planning question too small or too awkward. Second marriages, business shares, care fees, a difficult relative, an out of date Will, a parent who is losing capacity: bring it to him. If it needs a specialist, the wider Inheritance Made Simple team is right behind him.
