The UK needs a fair Defence procedure to Inheritence Act Claims.
A no win-no fee claim can be brought but the defence costs are astronomical. Solicitors can proceed to bump up costs with non progressive correspondence, merely a cost building exercise. The Defendant's disadvantage is such that they feel obliged to settle, regardless of merit.
Make the legal system fairer for individuals named in a Will to Defend an Inheritence Act Claim.
There needs to be cost limits put in place, and consequences for both sides, so only cases are brought which should be. In our situation, not only have we lost both of our parents, but we've been battling on and off for over a year. We've had no time to greave. The pressure on us is immense and showing no signs of coming to an end.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want to make changed to the legal system when making inheritance claims, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
