Trust & Proprietary Estoppel Claims Solicitors

Claims in relation to Trusts and Proprietary Estoppel may occur when an individual has been promised part of the deceased’s estate but is unwittingly omitted from the will.

Prior to death, an individual may have agreed with someone that they will inherit land in their estate and unwittingly not included the agreement within their will. This can then lead to strained relations between the person who was relying on this agreement and the beneficiaries of the will.

A proprietary estoppel claim essentially means enforcing the deceased’s broken promise. To prove proprietary estoppel, an individual must show there was an assurance by the deceased and that they have since relied upon this agreement, resulting in a detrimental outcome.
