Estate Disputes

Estate disputes arise for many reasons. They can be expected or it may be an unanticipated claim. Some disputes are resolved quickly without the need to involve the courts. Others result in complex and lengthy litigation.Our lawyers are trained to advise and assist you in all aspects of estate disputes, including advising about:

  • Will Disputes
  • Testator's Family Maintenance Claims

Back to TopWill Disputes

There are many reasons why Wills are disputed. A Will can be challenged because the Willmaker did not have testamentary capacity, or the Will is not valid for a range of reasons. Our lawyers can provide comprehensive advice to Willmakers, Executors and beneficiaries about all aspect of Wills and disputes. Our advice is specifically tailored to suit your individual needs and circumstances.

Back to TopTestator's Family Maintenance Claims

A Testator's Family Maintenance (TFM) claim is a specific class of Will challenge. They occur where an eligible person, who has not been given adequate provision from an Estate, seeks to obtain a share, or a larger proportion of the Estate. Our lawyers can advise you about the risks of a challenge, if you are a Willmaker, or advise you if you are an Executor, if you are one of the named beneficiaries in the Will, or if you are a person who wishes to make a claim against an Estate.
