Estate Litigation

Wills can be challenged for many reasons. The rights and obligations of beneficiaries and executors can be complex.  We can protect your rights and help you fulfill your obligations. Our lawyers are highly experienced in this specialized field and regularly resolve disputes in cases involving:

  • Undue influence
  • Incapacity
  • Failure to comply with formality requirements

Other aspects of estate litigation we undertake include:

  • Applications by trustees and/or attorneys to pass accounts
  • Applications for trustee appointments
  • Dependant support relief claims
  • Procedures related to a minor child’s interests
  • Guardianship applications
  • Orders to accept or refuse appointment as trustee
  • Applications for capacity assessments

Our team of estate litigation lawyers is adept at navigating the complexities of the law in this field and the inevitable emotional involvement of those involved in a suit.  We will work with you to explain both the law and the impact of legal action on the outcome of the case and on the relationships involved. 

If you feel you have reason to challenge the validity of a will, or you are facing challenge to a will, our team of estate dispute lawyers can help.   

For more information on the reasons wills can be challenged, please see our guide to When can a Will be challenged?
