What the book covers

Sadly, it’s not unusual for there to be disagreements in the time after a death. This ebook is a comprehensive guide to managing the legal considerations of an inheritance dispute. Our guide will help you understand what can happen at every stage of an inheritance claim.

Who can make a claim?

Not everyone involved in a dispute will have the legal right to make a claim. Our guide sets out exactly what inheritance claims are and the circumstances in which they may be appropriate.

Mediation

It’s possible to resolve many inheritance disputes before they go to court. Our guide explains why engaging with mediation can be a really positive step forward.

Going to court

Taking a claim to court can be very involved and long-winded. Find out what will be required at each stage of the process.

Possible outcomes

It’s very difficult to predict the outcome of taking an inheritance claim to court. This ebook covers all the factors that will go into the court’s decision.

As a registered manager of a residential home (Arden House in Pickering) and someone who has worked in health and social care for over 40 years, I was delighted to receive copies of Roche Legal’s “Caring for an Elderly Relative” book. I feel that the books are an invaluable resource for residential homes, friends and relatives of the residents. I also feel that the relatives caring for an older person in the community would find the book helpful and a valuable resource when seeking information. I would like to recommend these books to a wider audience as I feel people often do not know where to go for information and these books have it in a clear and helpful manner, including where to seek further advice
