Our lawyers are here to navigate you through estate disputes or litigation, which can be a daunting journey, to minimise the emotional and financial strain for all involved.
In Western Australia, all estate claims are litigated in the Supreme Court, with early mediation promoted where possible to give parties an opportunity to settle disputes without incurring significant fees.
When it comes to contested deceased estates and litigation, our team understands the complexities and challenges that arise, with a wealth of experience in managing estate claims and assisting both applicants and defendants in a variety of proceedings.
Our team also routinely represent parties in estate disputes and Court proceedings such as applications made under the Family Provision Act, challenges to the validity of a Will including on the grounds of lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence or coercion as well as applications for directions including on the proper interpretation of a Will or trust deed.
Our range of services also include representing clients in contested Will disputes including filing or opposing Probate caveats, issuing Citations, engaging in negotiations for out-of-court settlements, and providing guidance on disputes related to superannuation, inter vivos and testamentary trusts.
