Our Services
Estate Disputes
Estate disputes can arise for various reasons, including disagreements over the distribution of assets, challenges to the validity of a Will, or concerns about the actions of an executor. We are here to help you navigate these sensitive issues and protect your interests.
Will Challenges
If you believe that a Will is invalid or has been executed under duress or undue influence, we can assist you in challenging its validity. We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the Will and work tirelessly to ensure your rights are upheld.
Executor Disputes
Executor disputes can occur when there are concerns about the conduct of the person responsible for administering an estate. Whether you are an executor facing allegations or a beneficiary with concerns about an executor’s actions, we can provide expert guidance and representation.
Family Provision Claims
In Western Australia, certain persons close to the deceased may be entitled to make a family provision claim if they believe they have not been adequately provided for in a Will. We can assist you in making or defending such claims, ensuring a fair and just outcome.
Securing effective legal representation from the outset is crucial. Employing appropriate strategies from the beginning can lead to a swift resolution of conflicts, significantly minimising both emotional and commercial ramifications.
Timing is critical in estate disputes and there are strict time limits that apply. If you suspect the need to challenge or defend a Will, it is imperative not to postpone seeking advice. Act promptly to ensure your legal rights are safeguarded.
