Is there a time limit to dispute inheritance?

The longer the time from a person’s death, the harder it can be to dispute inheritance. It is still possible, but there are two main issues that can arise.

Gathering evidence

It can be difficult to gather enough evidence to support your case because everything is old. Witnesses may have died or will files, and other documents may have been destroyed.

Overturning previously settled case

Mr & Mrs Wesley

It can be difficult to challenge the administration of an estate that was carried out and settled a long time ago, if it was considered to have been carried out correctly and in good faith at the time.

The courts may be reluctant to overturn or interfere with a case that was considered settled, and all decisions made around the estate were considered correct.

IDR Law can help assess your circumstances and advise on the likelihood of a dispute being considered by the courts.
