Succession and Trust Disputes

Benefits we bring to you

Disputes that arise on the death of a family member are extremely difficult to deal with and it is crucially important that clear, objective and constructive advice is taken at the time. That is what we provide in a wide range of disputes including those relating to the interpretation and validity of wills, actions for accounting against attorneys or executors and petitions for the variation of trusts. This specialist work requires specialist advice from people who have been doing it for years. As one of the only top ranked firms in Scotland to provide it, we work with individuals and families in the most complex and sensitive cases in the country.

What our clients and peers say:

What makes Morton Fraser unique, in my opinion, has been the extraordinary sense of personal involvement that the partners have shown. They have combined an extremely high standard of professionalism with a strong sense of grounded personal engagement. This gives a belief in a bond having developed between firm and client which has built belief and trust.
