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.
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.
LPA
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
LPAs are the only way you can choose and appoint in advance someone to legally make decisions for you tailored to your particular circumstances.
Tax and Trusts
Whatever your stage of life, and however you plan to manage your estate, we can put in place tax and trust structures to suit your immediate and future needs.
Trust disputes
We have experience dealing with all aspects of trust disputes and can guide you through complexities that may arise. Our team can understand complex family trust arrangements and help resolve disputes to protect your wealth.
