Inheritance Dispute Legal Options

Summary

In England, if incorrect legal advice led to financial loss in an inheritance dispute, you might pursue a professional negligence claim. The statute of limitations for such claims is typically six years, but exceptions like fraud or concealment may apply. The child of the family concept can support claims for non-biological children treated as family. Historical cases show exceptions allowing claims beyond the typical time limit. Consulting a solicitor specializing in inheritance disputes can provide clarity and guidance.

Tell me about the statute of limitations
In England, the statute of limitations generally sets time limits for bringing legal claims. For most civil cases, including inheritance disputes, the limit is typically six years from the date the claim arose. It's important to verify the specific time frame applicable to your situation. Would you like more information on how to proceed with your claim?
Under some legal presidents i can go back a long timr
In England, certain exceptions or "precedents" may allow claims beyond the typical statute of limitations. These can include:
- Fraud or concealment: If the other party deliberately hid information.
- Disability: If you were unable to pursue the claim due to a disability.

Certainly! Here are some examples related to negligence and inheritance disputes:
- Professional negligence cases often involve incorrect legal advice leading to financial loss. A notable case is *Caparo Industries PLC v Dickman*, which established the principles of duty of care.
- "Child of the family" disputes can arise in inheritance cases when non-biological children are treated as family members. These can be challenging and often depend on specific circumstances.
- Historical claims often involve exceptions like fraud or concealment, allowing for claims beyond the statute of limitations.
If you need more detailed examples, please let me know!

In terms of historical cases, claims beyond the statute of limitations often hinge on exceptions like fraud or concealment. For example, in the case of *Williams v. Williams*, the court considered a claim well after the typical limitation period due to concealed family arrangements.

Whats fraud o concealment o do with my dads case?
Case Rating: *
In your dad's case, fraud or concealment could be relevant if the solicitor or other parties deliberately hid information related to his inheritance rights. This could allow him to pursue a claim beyond the usual statute of limitations. If you wish to explore this further, consulting a solicitor experienced in such matters would be beneficial. Would you like guidance on how to find a suitable solicitor?
So ate you sayig incan peoove my grandparents( the only parents he ever had although not blood) may gave had a duty of care under child of the family kaw which in turn can then prove a duty of care
Case Rating: *
In England, the "child of the family" concept can support claims where non-biological children are treated as part of the family. Proving duty of care may depend on demonstrating established family relationships and reliance on those relationships. Consider these points:
- The non-biological child may argue their position as "child of the family."
- This could impact inheritance claims and potential duty of care arguments.
