Contested Estates

In the unfortunate case of a challenge to a Will in which you have an interest or are the Executor, we can assist you.  We provide advice in relation to the process, opportunities to resolve matters without litigation, mediation and if necessary, conduct legal proceedings on your behalf.  Similarly, there are community expectations reflected in legislation that Testators have a responsibility to make provision for certain classes of people.  If you feel that you have not received provision or adequate provision in a Will, we can assist you by exploring settlement opportunities prior to commencing litigation and if necessary, informing you of the process of making a claim in the Supreme Court of New South Wales and conducting those proceedings on your behalf. We work closely with barristers expert in the area to ensure that you receive accurate advice at the earliest time and are able to make informed decisions with our assistance.
