Contested Estates and Inheritance Claims

There are a number of circumstances where a person can challenge a Will. You should seek legal advice if:

  • You were dependent of the deceased and you were not provided for in a Will
  • You feel the Will is unfair (for a valid reason)
  • The provision made for you in the Will is inadequate
  • You feel that the deceased was unduly influenced by a person when making their Will
  • You feel that the deceased was not of sound mind when they made their Will
  • The deceased passed away without a Will
  • The will is unclear.

Strict time limits apply when it comes to contesting a will, so we recommend you get in touch with our team as soon as possible to discuss your situation and options further.
