1 in 3 people rely on an inheritance to buy property, pay off a debt, or pay for their elderly care. 
If you were relying on inheritance for any of these reasons, then you are well within your rights to question if you think the inheritance has been incorrectly distributed. 
 
Deciding to dispute inheritance can seem like a difficult undertaking because of the sensitivity around losing a family member, or the resulting family disputes which often arise. 
 
If you are legally entitled to a greater share of the inheritance, you should not feel uncomfortable challenging the arrangements to receive what is rightfully yours. 
 
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 cases 
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.
