Tracy-Ann Moore

Tracy-Ann is a senior chartered legal executive in our estate, trust and will disputes team with many years of experience within civil litigation before specialising in trust and probate disputes. She advises on a range of issues including claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, cases challenging the validity of a will due to testamentary capacity / undue influence, claims in proprietary estoppel, trustee/executor disputes and breach of trust actions.

Tracy-Ann has worked on numerous matters over the years involving estate claims, which by their very nature are both emotional and challenging for a client. She prides herself in approaching them with empathy and understanding, but also with clear, passionate, and tactical realism, balancing both the client’s needs and goals in this specialist area of law.

Some examples of Tracy-Ann’s recent highlights include:

• Assisting a client to challenge an estate worth in the region of £1 million where an adult daughter had been excluded by her father, successfully mediating the claim achieving an award out of the estate.
• Advising and assisting an adult son who had also been excluded from inheritance under his father’s will and successfully negotiating an award of nearly 50% of the estate.
• Advising a litigation friend for a minor son who had been excluded from the estate of his father and mediating a resolution subject to approval of the court.
• Defending an action brought against an estate alleging invalidity of a will due to lack of testamentary capacity.
• Successfully removing a trustee due to lack of capacity.
• Claiming for breach of fiduciary duties against an attorney fraudulently taking monies from a testator’s bank account.

Tracy-Ann is fiercely competitive and will leave no stone unturned for a client. She's an Associate member of ACTAPS – the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists.

Outside of work, Tracy-Ann has been involved in her local Business Chamber serving as vice-chair and then chair and is passionate about supporting local businesses and enterprise. She's also a trained holistic therapist and a keen supporter of girls and women’s football.
