Family Provision Claims
If you have been left out of a will or believe you have not received adequate provision from an estate, you may have grounds to make a claim under the NSW Succession Act. We can advise you on your eligibility, guide you through the application process and represent you in court if necessary. We also defend executors and beneficiaries against claims when required, ensuring that your loved one's wishes are respected and the estate is protected.
Will Validity Disputes
These disputes arise when there are concerns about the legal validity of a will. Common issues include whether the person had the mental capacity to make the will, whether they were unduly influenced by someone else, or whether the will was properly signed and witnessed. We investigate and present clear legal arguments to support your position.
Estate Administration & Distribution Issues
Sometimes, disputes arise between executors, beneficiaries or other interested parties about how an estate is being managed. We assist with challenges to delays, perceived unfairness, asset handling or unclear instructions. Our goal is to help all parties reach a practical outcome, with minimal conflict wherever possible.
Will Interpretation
Even when a will is legally valid, its meaning may be unclear or open to different interpretations. We assist in interpreting clauses, resolving ambiguity and applying for court directions when needed to ensure the executor acts with confidence and legal clarity.
Trust Administration Disputes
If a trust was established under a will or separately, disagreements may arise about how it is managed or distributed. We act for trustees or beneficiaries in disputes involving entitlements, mismanagement, or breaches of fiduciary duty.
