Contentious Probate Update 2026 Exeter
Description
Our Wills & Trusts team are delighted to invite you to their annual contentious probate conference
The seminar aims to bring practitioners up to speed with all the latest developments in the world of contentious probate.
It is principally targeted at solicitors who are (or would like to be) involved in contentious probate work, but it would also be of interest to non-contentious lawyers, will writing firms and professional executors.
