Inheritances can be complicated things and it is no surprise that many people contact a solicitor in Manchester, solicitors in Liverpool and so on to help them dispute the details of wills in certain cases.

One will currently causing disagreement is that of Huguette Clark, who died last year at the age of 104. The wealthy heiress, who shied away from the opulent lifestyle that became available to her when she inherited a fortune, had vast amounts of money and property.

The family wealth come from a copper, timber and railroad empire, but Ms Clark decided she would shun the limelight and rather than living in the luxurious homes she inherited in New York and California, she chose instead to live out her years in hospitals.

She married once for a brief period but did not have any children. Her will set up a organisation to promote and foster the arts called the Bellosguardo Foundation. Meanwhile, her Santa Barbara oceanfront home will become a museum to house her books, musical instruments, art collection and other fine objects.

Ms Clark did not leave any money to her family members, but did bequeath ...
... millions to a nurse who had been assigned to her in 1991. The nurse became her closest companion.

However, the details of the will have caused disagreements and legal action is now being taken by certain parties involved.

Meanwhile, this month, 17 pieces of Clark's jewellery are to be sold at Christie's. It is expected that the items will raise a total of around $10 million (£6.4 million). Among the treasures going up for sale are an extremely rare nine-carat pink diamond ring and a 20-carat colourless diamond ring.

People looking for a solicitor in Manchester, solicitors in Liverpool and so on to help them contest the details of a will are no doubt keen to find the best such experts around. Thankfully, it is now easy to source superb quality legal assistance of this kind.
