The most common will disputes involve family provision claims and challenging a will and its validity, but estate disputes include other matters as well.

Your initial consultation is obligation-free, and we'll want to understand your relationship with the deceased person, the reason for the dispute, the terms of the will (if applicable), the estate's nature and value and the other interested parties. We also understand that some clients may not be able to afford legal fees upfront, which is why, for some family provision claims, we may be able to act on a "No Win No Fee" basis.
