A LUDLOW law firm has announced the expansion of its contentious probate service to help meet growing demand.

Corve Street-based mfg Solicitors has announced that Robert Weston, partner and one of the country’s leading will dispute lawyers, will now be based between the firm’s Kidderminster headquarters and Ludlow as part of the firm’s expansion of its wills and estate dispute services.

“More and more people in Ludlow are now relying on our legal services and there has been particular increase in demand for contentious probate advice, especially for high value estates and cases involving farms,” said Mr Weston.

“I am delighted that I’ll be spending more time in Ludlow, helping and supporting clients. Ultimately, it brings more of our services under one roof, while also making use of our network of offices.”

Mr Weston is head of the firm’s contentious probate team.
