Wills, trusts and estates disputes

Contentious wills, trusts and estates

We understand how difficult it can be to come to terms with a death of a loved one, this can be exacerbated when the Will of the deceased is not as expected, or you feel like an executor of an estate is not acting in the manner in which they should.

We regularly act on a variety of matters which arise following the death of a loved one and understand the sensitive nature of such claims.

These include:

  • disappointed beneficiaries – IA claims and equitable remedy claims; 
  • challenging the validity of a Will; 
  • executor disputes – includes appointment of an independent administrator 
  • trust disputes;
  • problems with the wording of the Will; and 
  • death and burial disputes.
