Everyone is familiar with the expression ‘You can't choose your family'.
Whilst there is always a tendency to look through rose coloured glasses at ‘the good old days', it does seem that there is an increase in the number of issues arising between family members, particularly when it comes to contesting a will.
There are likely a number of factors at play with this, including a greater level of wealth (especially with increasing property prices) and different family structures with an increasing number of blended families.
The typical scenario where someone contests a will is where they feel as though they have not received as much as another person in the will or where they feel like they are entitled to a greater amount under the will.
