Being left out of a Will or being the executor of or a beneficiary under a Will which is under challenge can be a very stressful experience...

Spouses, former spouses, de facto spouses, children, adopted children, stepchildren and dependents, can be entitled to share in a deceased person’s estate even if they are not provided for in the Will.

We can advise you whether you have any such entitlement or, if you are the executor of a Will, whether you should defend such a claim and how you should deal with it.

Importantly however, there are very strict time limits that must be complied with. You should seek advice as early as possible as delays can lead to problems. Guidance at the very beginning is essential. Acting quickly after receiving expert advice can save you much heartache, expense and see a resolution to the problem without lengthy delays.
