Resolving conflicts concerning family assets

Our clients, two siblings, together with an estranged family member have inherited a Stud Farm in the West Country. The Farm is operated by a tenant. Our clients wish to see the Farm sold and there is a dispute with the other family member as the division of the proceeds of sale. Our clients issued proceedings in the High Court.

We have managed to broker a solution that will result in the property being sold with the co-operation of the tenant and a mechanism for resolving the dispute with the other family member.
