As Toby wrote in the Foreword:

‘The Law Society’s Probate Practitioner’s Handbook, now in its 9th edition, has become a popular and widely regarded resource. The continuing growth in the number of will disputes makes an equivalent resource dealing with will disputes essential reading for any practitioner. Carl Islam provides just such a treatment in the present Handbook, now in its 2nd edition, enabling busy practitioners to navigate all aspects of will disputes in eight practical, accessible, and authoritative chapters covering both law and practice at all stages, from preliminary steps
through to trial.’

This is my 8th book, see: https://lnkd.in/dX8CAUkm.
