When grief is accompanied by legal uncertainty, a will dispute can place added strain on a family already trying to navigate what lies ahead. There may be uncertainty about whether the document is fair, whether it represents the deceased person's wishes and whether it is valid. As doubts arise about testamentary capacity, the validity of the will's preparation or execution, knowledge and approval, undue influence or fraud, the uncertainty surrounding the matter can become even more pronounced.

We can then assess whether your matter involves a family provision claim, concerns about the validity of a will, or the need to respond to a claim as an executor or administrator. We will explain the legal issues that may affect your matter, the evidence that may be required, the likely process, any applicable time limits and the possible costs involved. For eligible family provision claims, with circumstances assessed on a case-by-case basis, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement. We may also offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement if the client is the executor appointed under the will or has an existing entitlement to part of the estate.
