Spear’s Review

‘Estate disputes can be a very trying and emotional time for people who have often lost someone close to them and are then immediately faced with a dispute,’ says Paula Myers, a legal director in Irwin Mitchell’s private client services practice.

The experienced partner deals with all types of challenges of wills, including issues relating to mental capacity, undue influence and irregularities, as well as claims for financial provision for spouses, co-habitees and children. ‘I have particular experience handling farming dispute claims involving the doctrine of proprietary estoppel,’ she says.
