Will Disputes

When somebody becomes incapable of managing their own affairs, important legal steps must be taken to reduce the possibility of estate disputes by ensuring that their care, welfare and administration of their financial and legal affairs are managed in their best interests.

In our experience, most Will disputes can be settled at or before mediation, minimising the costs and strain on family relationships. 

Conflict may arise where your loved one has not made a legal Will or where a family member decides to contest a Will because they have been excluded. It is important that you have access to objective legal advice from experienced deceased estate lawyers so that you can make informed decisions during a difficult and stressful time for all concerned.

Our lawyers appreciate the importance of maintaining family relationships and will attempt to resolve the dispute without the need to issue formal legal proceedings.
