Construction and Interpretation of Wills

Construction and Interpretation of Wills

When a Will’s meaning is unclear, we can help. Our team advises on interpreting Wills and resolving disputes with clarity and respect.

Wills are not always as well drafted as they should be. The true meaning of the Will or various parts of the Will may be open to different interpretations. In such cases it may be necessary to enlist the assistance of the Court in order to determine how the provisions of the Will should take effect.

Issues of construction and interpretation can be awkward and difficult to resolve. We have the benefit of being able to call upon the expertise of our colleagues in the Private Client team who have considerable experience in the professional drafting of Wills and trusts.

What our clients say...

Thank you Simon Burdett-Dixon at TWM for your extremely professional and friendly approach in resolving a boundary dispute. I would thoroughly recommend TWM and Simon Burdett-Dixon.

Google Review - January 2026

I cannot praise Simon Burdett-Dixon of TWM Solicitors enough. He has worked hard over the last 7 years to bring a favourable conclusion to a long going matter. I would without any hesitation recommend Simon and TWM to anyone looking for a specialist in boundary disputes.

Trustpilot review - December 2025

I contacted TWM for advice and support with a dispute regarding the estate of my late Father. Mr Stuart Downey handled my case. He was superb, always available if needed to discuss things and handled the case with a high level of professionalism and effectiveness leading to the successful conclusion of the matter. Highly recommended.

Trustpilot review - November 2025

I used TWM Solicitors, who are tier 1, to assist with a Dispute Resolution pertaining to a Will. My initial meeting with Stuart Downey in the Guildford office was impressive, and he covered all the bases with regard to the circumstances. Subsequent communications with Stuart and Rebecca Westwood offered clear and helpful advice and direction. I was pleased that I had a positive outcome from the litigation, but even if that had not been achievable, I would still be happy to recommend TWM to others. The backroom staff were also competent, and prompt.

Google Review - June 2023

Simon Burdett-Dixon is able to find solutions which other rival solicitors seem unable to think of. If something needs to be researched he is able to do it very well. He has always served us well.
