Springwood lawyers also practice in the area of Wills and Estates

Disputed Estates

Contesting a Will or defending a Will from a claim is a complex area of law and it usually happens at a time of deep grief and loss, so it is stressful for all concerned, including beneficiaries defending their inheritances and for those who feel that they have been unfairly left out of a Will. It is important therefore, that you have the assistance of a lawyer experienced in this area of law.

If you have been left out of a Will, or not properly provided for, you may be able to make a Family Provisions claim. It may also be the case that you are concerned regarding the circumstances in which a Will was made and you are concerned that the will maker might not have been capable of making the Will. It is very important that you obtain the correct advice at this stage.

Not everybody has the right to make a claim against a Will and time limitations apply. At Springwood Lawyers we know what these matters involve and we can assist you in a skilful and thoughtful manner. Most of the times these disputes do not require a stressful and costly court battle and can be settled by negotiations or attendance at a Mediation. Whatever it takes, Springwood Lawyers can assist you in this regard.
