Larke v Nugus Requests Are Very Often Used As A “Fishing Expedition” And They Are On The Rise…

It’s becoming increasingly frequent for disappointed beneficiaries or disgruntled family members to approach a solicitor to try and contest a Will, despite whether there are grounds for an enquiry or not.

Anyone can contest a Will, and it is not necessarily an indicator of poor practice. If you haven’t received one yet, it’s only a matter of time before you do.

Cases involving disputed Wills very often feature a request from the Claimant’s Solicitor for a Larke v Nugus statement which is prepared by the Solicitor or Will Writer who originally drafted the disputed Will or witnessed its execution.

Receiving a Larke v Nugus request can be exceptionally time consuming and expensive for your practice as the work cannot be charged for and with an increasing trend of Contentious Probate, the requirement for systematic record keeping has never been more important.

How are you currently keeping your notes? On the margin of the instruction sheet? There is a better way…
