Between a Rock and Hard Place

Charities have a difficult line to tread when they receive large legacies through a Will, only to find that the Will is challenged by family members.  The case involving the RSPCA and Dr Christine Gill is the latest example.  The main problem is that the Trustees of the Charity feel hide bound to do all they can to preserve their position.  As so often, it is only the lawyers who benefit from the dispute at the end of the day and some form of specialist mediation/fast track dispute resolution should be compulsory before matters escalate beyond all measure.
