Kate acted for a client in challenging the will of her late father on the grounds of forgery and fraud. The deceased‘s assets included several London properties, land in the Caribbean and valuable jewellery and other assets. The key issues included inconsistent evidence from the core witnesses, missing assets, possible criminal conduct by the executors, forgery of signatures, handwriting and ink analysis, mismanagement of estate assets and a successful application for removal of the executors. Kate pursued a robust strategy in order to achieve the best settlement for the client at mediation shortly before trial.
