To determine how your estate is distributed you must have a valid will. If you do not have a will, or it is not valid, your Estate will be distributed according to a statutory formula that may bring hardship to those you wish to protect.

Wills can be challenged by various parties, and our Wills and Probate team have extensive experience in both conducting challenges and acting on behalf of Executors or other family members in defending the Estate against such a challenge through the Supreme Court.

We have the experience and expertise to provide an Executor with guidance as to his or her responsibilities and assist in dealing with the legal requirements of administering the estate of a deceased person. We also understand that no one family is the same, and there may be times when the family wishes to go beyond the terms of the will. We have the expertise to advise as to the content and necessity of various deeds of family arrangement in such circumstances.

Our team can also assist with advice and documentation regarding Powers of Attorney, guardianship and administration.
