Legal Costs and Court Proceedings
There are special rules regarding the legal costs of Trustee or Executor Disputes. It is therefore vital to obtain specialist legal advice at as early a stage as possible.
Court Proceedings can be not only expensive but also extremely time consuming and stressful. In many Inheritance, Will and Trust Disputes, family relations can also be strained and threat of court proceedings can only heighten such tensions. That is why at Taylor Emmet we will discuss with you the potential for alternative methods to resolve matters including open meetings or mediations which often provide a quicker, more cost-effective method of providing clients with a satisfactory solution.
