Trust Disputes and Litigation

Resolving trust disputes with clarity and care.

We are experienced trust lawyers and regularly advise on and act in relation to trust disputes and litigation.

If trust documents are defective or unclear, or mistakes have been made in the course of administering a trust, we work with trustees to rectify the position.

We also act on the separation of the settlors/trustees and assist trustees in respect of claims under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 and s 182 of the Family Proceedings Act 1980.
