How we can help to protect you and your loved ones

Contesting a Will

You may be concerned that a Will left by a loved one doesn’t reflect what they would have wanted. Whatever disputes you face, we have an expert team who can help you to contest a Will with sensitivity and tact.

Court of Protection and attorney disputes

At what is a difficult time, matters can be made worse if you're concerned that a person taking advantage of your loved one, or if a person appointed to manage their financial affairs isn't doing so properly.

Defending a Will

You may be the beneficiary of a Will, but are facing accusations from family members that the will was not valid and that you should not receive what you believe is rightly yours.

Estate administration and Executor disputes

If someone close to you has dies then it can be a very upsetting time. Matters will only be made worse if you then face difficulty in resolving the administration of your loved one’s estate.

Farming inheritance disputes

Farms and agricultural land are often involved in inheritance disputes. Unfortunately the disputes are often complicated further by the emotional strain of a farm being run as family enterprise.

Inheritance Act claims

Perhaps you feel you haven’t been left a fair share in a Will, or you may have been left out of it entirely. In situations like this, our expert Inheritance Act claims team can help you restore the balance.

Property inheritance disputes

Sometimes a relative can leave a Will that doesn’t tally with what you think is fair. We have expertise and experience of dealing with all aspects of trust disputes and can guide you through the complexities that may arise.
