Under the leadership of ‘world-class' trusts, inheritance, and legacy disputes expert Michelle Rose, who maintains close relationships with a roster of national charities, entrepreneurial families, and celebrity clients, the team at VWV frequently acts in high-value trust and probate disputes on a national scale. The practice is routinely involved in will and trust validity challenges, as well as 1975 Inheritance Act claims, and it frequently represents clients in professional negligence claims. Alongside cross-border disputes expert Fiona Lawrence, Rose is also frequently appointed as an Independent Administrator in the course of long-running High Court cases between beneficiaries of deadlocked estates. Lawrence, who is well versed in mental capacity work, increasingly handles contentious Court of Protection matters. Contentious probate specialist Julia Hardy is a further key contact.
