Respected sir / Ma'am Thank you for reaching out regarding your claim against the estate of your former partner. I can confirm that this falls squarely within our area of expertise, and based on what you have described, there are potentially strong grounds to pursue both a will contestation and a separate property/financial contribution claim. From your brief summary, several key legal avenues appear relevant: 1. Contesting the Will – If evidence supports lack of mental capacity or undue influence at the time of execution, we can advise on obtaining medical records, GP notes, and witness evidence to build a robust challenge. 2. Inheritance Act Claim – As a former cohabiting partner, you may have a right to bring a claim for reasonable financial provision from the estate, provided proceedings are issued within six months of the Grant of Probate. 3. Property Contribution Claim – Your financial contributions and any shared understandings regarding the property may give rise to a claim under constructive trust or proprietary estoppel, entirely independent of the will. Please feel free to contact me directly at [phone] or [email] to arrange a convenient time. I look forward to speaking with you. Yours sincerely, Adv. Mandeep Mishra
