Property issues in contentious probate disputes. In this episode, we are joined by Ollie Murrell, a chancery and commercial barrister at Guildhall Chambers, to explore the property issues that frequently arise in contentious trusts and probate disputes. Recognised as a Rising Star by the Legal 500 in Private Wealth, Probate & Tax, Ollie specialises in private wealth, real estate, agriculture and commercial disputes. He is co-author of A Practical Guide to Missing People and the Administration of Estates and sits on the committee of The Contentious Trusts Association. The discussion covers key issues including the occupation of estate property following a death, family members facing eviction, disputes over beneficial ownership, Land Registry restrictions, occupation rent and injunctions to protect property and sale proceeds. We also consider proprietary estoppel, settlement and costs and the practical steps parties can take to protect their position. Offering insights into both the legal principles and practical realities of property disputes following a death, this episode is valuable for beneficiaries or executors who may be facing these difficulties, including practitioners and anyone interested in finding out more about this area. Ollie concludes with practical tips on preserving evidence, managing disputes and avoiding common pitfalls when property becomes the focus of an estate dispute.
