Contesting or Defending a Will
Unfortunately, there are times when an estate dispute arises. This may be because a family member feels that they have not been left with adequate provision out of the deceased’s estate, or someone close to the deceased feels that the Will they made may not be valid. We are able to provide you with advice in relation to contesting a Will or defending a claim against a Will.
We understand that losing a loved one is already a difficult time and that can be made harder by an estate dispute. We therefore always strive to provide our clients with sound legal advice in a caring environment.
