Following the debut of their referral and support network back in February, IDR Law have relaunched the IDR Network (IDRN) after an extensive research project that explored how their members were using and engaging with the content.
The completely free resource is now an intuitive space providing everything you need as a legal practitioner if a contentious case lands on your desk, quickly and easily. You’ll also find general resources, guides, and commentary for non-contentious browsing in their knowledgebase with the handy new search tool.
As contentious probate specialists, it was a no-brainer for IDR Law to create this site. It brings together everything IDR Law have to offer under one “virtual roof”, and everything is created by their team of contentious probate specialists.
Who’s it for?
Anyone working in the wills and probate sector, including:
- Law firms
- IFAs

CPD & training
Contentious probate is a niche area of the law and IDR believe education and knowledge in the area is essential. The CPD section offers webinars and training sessions hosted by the team at IDR Law and other experts in the field.
Refer a client
Got a client who is trying to navigate an inheritance dispute? The IDRN has a dedicated “refer a client” area with a fast-track form where you can add lots of detail around the case. Their client relations team will be back in touch with your client within 24 hours to access their situation.
“As our referral network grew, we could see that we needed to make everything we had to offer available all of the time,” said Martin Holdsworth, Founder of IDR Law, adding “the IDRN provides all of that direct help in one space.”
Holdsworth went on to say the free-to-access IDRN v2 is a “fantastic update” creating a “much more intuitive support tool” for IDR’s network of supporters and referrers.
Dedicated charity area
Fundraising is hard at the best of times and losing a legacy as a result of a successful will challenge can be devastating. In this section, IDR guide Legacy Managers through responding to these claims with a firm but fair approach.
