Contentious Trusts and Probate ATE Insurance

ATE Insurance for Contentious Trusts and Probate Disputes – The Key Points

We understand the complexities that arise in traditional Chancery litigation and can offer bespoke ATE insurance (also known as after-the-event or litigation insurance) and disbursement funding to accommodate all types of wills and probate dispute.

This includes probate cases (such as interest claims, revocation of a grant and pronouncing for or against a will), rectifying a will or to protect a will from rectification and cases being pursued under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.

Other scenarios we are able to consider include Applications under the Tort (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, applications under the Administration of Justice Act 1985 and applications under the Law of Property Act 1925.

Wilson Browne Solicitors have a long-standing arrangement with Temple Legal Protection to provide litigation insurance cover for our property litigation clients. It is extremely straightforward to use, the policy quite simply works and it is comforting for clients to have the option of disbursement funding in addition. All in all the whole thing is a bit of a ‘no-brainer’, especially for clients who are naturally concerned about the financial risks when undertaking litigation. Once in place the policy gives both us and clients great peace of mind: it allows us to get on and deliver on our promise of being “all the help you need.

We and our clients have used Temple for ATE insurance on many occasions. Most recently we acted for a liquidator pursuing claims to recover assets for the liquidation estate. After lengthy and heavily contested litigation, ultimately settlement was achieved at mediation. That settlement was only possible with the assistance of Temple’s direct, pragmatic and commercial approach. This was much appreciated by both us and the client.

Temple Legal are brilliant. Jamela and her team have a deep understanding of litigation and legal risk. They are responsive to client requirements throughout and have developed a user-friendly platform for case updates.

Securing ATE insurance cover from Temple Legal provides enormous comfort to libel defendants. It is a key factor in their decision to defend claims against them as it insulates them from the risk of paying opponents’ legal costs.

We look forward to working with Temple Legal again soon.
