Inheritance disputes are often caused by simple mistakes that could have been avoided, such as choosing the wrong executor.

In our latest video, experts Claire Cox & Simon Arneaud explore the most common issues that cause disagreements & what families can do to prevent them. To watch the full video, visit the Insights & Thinking page on our website.

If you'd like to know more, join Willans' partners Laura Stone TEP & Claire Cox tomorrow afternoon for our free Huddle event 'Inheritance Wars: How to Avoid a Family Feud' at Cheltenham Literature Festival. Laura & Claire will be offering their guidance from 2pm in the Huddle area (next to Waterstones & the café). We hope to see you there!
