Grief often comes with legal doubt, and a dispute over a will adds stress when your family is trying to make sense of what comes next. There may be uncertainty about whether the document is fair, whether it represents the deceased person's wishes and whether it is valid.

When you reach out to us, we start with an obligation-free initial consultation where one of our lawyers will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the contents of the will (where relevant), the other interested persons and the circumstances that have led to the dispute. From there, we can assess whether you may have grounds to make a family provision claim, whether there are issues affecting the validity of a will or whether you require legal representation for defending a claim. Our team will walk you through the applicable legal process, the evidence likely to be relevant, the important time limits and what costs you can expect. Estate disputes can make funding legal representation difficult, particularly where access to estate assets is delayed, and that's something we recognise as experienced lawyers. That said, for some family provision matters, a "No Win No Fee" agreement may be offered so that your legal fees would only be payable if you obtain a successful outcome, which includes reaching a settlement with the estate or the Court ordering further provision for you.
