Statistics clearly demonstrate that the number of Inheritance Disputes is increasing year on year. Just last year, some 8,000 caveats were lodged with Probate Registries all over England & Wales. With claims come disclosure requests to will writers – whether they are practicing in law firms or will writing companies. These requests come in the form of a Larke -v- Nugus (“LvN”) request letter and there are far more of them than ever before landing on will writer’s desks. We were curious as to how the will and probate sector were dealing with these requests.
Postremus Ltd, trading as Larke, commissioned this survey with the purpose of understanding how individuals and firms currently react and deal with LvN requests – from an idea of volume, their concerns on receiving them, how they dealt with them and their views on what is to follow.
