Legal advice for life's important moments.

Yes. We advise on contested probate, disputed estates and claims relating to inheritance. This may include challenges to a will, disputes about how an estate is being administered or claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. We can also advise on steps to resolve the dispute without court proceedings.

Yes. International assets can make estate planning and administration more complex. Matrix Law Solicitors can advise on international estate planning and consider how overseas property, investments and other assets fit within your wider succession arrangements. Where advice is required in another jurisdiction, this may involve working alongside appropriate overseas professionals.

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make certain decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make those decisions yourself. This may cover decisions relating to your property and finances, your health and welfare, or both. We can advise on the appropriate arrangements and assist with preparing and registering Lasting Powers of Attorney.

The Court of Protection can make decisions on behalf of someone who lacks the mental capacity to make particular decisions for themselves. Applications may be required, for example, where someone can no longer manage their property and financial affairs and there is no suitable Lasting Power of Attorney in place. We can advise on the appropriate protective arrangements and assist with Court of Protection applications.
