How long does a claim take?
There is no hard and fast rule as to how long a dispute regarding the validity of a Will can take. If a dispute is settled early into the process then resolution can be reached in a matter of weeks or months. If, on the other hand, matters have to proceed all the way to trial then it is not unheard of for disputes to last anywhere between 18-24 months.
