Wills & Estates Disputes

Whether it is defending an estate, challenging a Will or whether you have an issue with an executor, disputes are never fun and are often highly emotional, and require a sensitive approach to meet your goals.

Disputing a Will

Whether it is defending an estate, challenging a Will or whether you have an issue with an executor, disputes are never fun and are often highly emotional.

Our team will listen closely to you and your unique situation, gaining an understanding of your personal situation and what you would like to achieve. We will clearly outline the best approach, answering your questions and helping to navigate the often complex and stressful dispute process.

We act for executors, beneficiaries and any other interested party in the event of an estate dispute.

This can include:

  • challenging and defending claims against the Estate;
  • challenging the validity of the will (including on the grounds of lack of testamentary capacity and undue influence);
  • applying for the removal of an executor;
  • power of attorney disputes;
  • guardianship applications;
  • trust disputes; and
  • disputing a Grant of Probate.

We understand disputes can heighten conflict between family members. The process can be highly emotional, complex and costly especially if you are not successful. Our team can help you examine the circumstances and advise you on the best possible approach to meet your objectives.
