Dispute Resolution Solicitors

Property disputes can end up wasting time and costing a lot of money and are known to be incredibly stressful for everyone involved. This sort of dispute is often related to the ownership of a specific piece of land or property and is often between landlords and tenants, neighbours, or external organisations like a local planning department.

Our dispute solicitors can help you resolve property disputes so that you can rely on them to protect your interests and to provide sound legal and tactical advice.

A boundary dispute is a disagreement or miss communication regarding the location of where one property ends and another starts. Not understanding where the property line is can lead to a number of disputes regarding the division of land and properties. For example, if a neighbour builds a shed on land that belongs to you.

With the help of our expert solicitors at Rollits, you can minimise the impact of these disputes, take action to protect a boundary, and make a claim if necessary.

Disputes between neighbours are fairly common and can cause a great deal of difficulties and stress in your everyday life. These matters, if not addressed quickly, can lead to resentment, conflict and even pressure to move away from your home.

• Noise

A land dispute solicitor can be invaluable when it comes to disagreements regarding land matters. This may include things like boundary placement or land use.

We can provide clear and professional guidance on land dispute matters, giving our clients the means to apply to the Land Registry, resolve misunderstandings quickly, and prepare and handle court proceedings.

The death of a loved one is always incredibly difficult, but if you are surprised by the terms included in their Will, it can be even more distressing. There can be a number of disputes when it comes to a Will, or the absence of a Will, including disputes regarding inheritance, administering an estate, interpretation of the Will, and disputes between beneficiaries and executors.

At Rollits, our specialist solicitors have experience in advising on disputes surrounding the circumstances in which a Will was made, or perhaps changed. This includes reviewing the advice and involvement of other solicitors or will-writers, and helping clients to understand whether, and how, a disputed Will may be capable of being challenged. Our specialist solicitors also regularly advise clients in circumstances where the deceased did not leave a Will and died intestate.

When it comes to probate disputes, individuals and family members are already grieving the death of a loved one so the additional pressure of a probate dispute can lead to high levels of stress, anxiety and resentment all round.

Our teams in Hull and York understand this and have the legal knowledge needed to help you to navigate the many issues that can arise in a probate dispute, such as:

• The validity of a Will or Trust deed
• Mental incapacity claims
• Incorrect estate administration
• Negligent advice when making the Will
• The removal of executors or trustees

Inheritance can often be the cause of disputes among family members. Our team aims to resolve all inheritance disputes as quickly and efficiently as possible to ensure that things remain amicable within a family.

Our solicitors have experience helping clients manage all sorts of inheritance disputes. They can assist you with disputes between beneficiaries and executors, matters involving trusts, the misconduct of an attorney, the validity of a Will and the removal of beneficiaries and trustees.

Our solicitors can also provide advice and assistance upon claims made under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, and proprietary estoppel claims.
