Estate Disputes Near Glennons Hill

It’s an unfortunate reality that the death of someone dear can be a tough period, and inheritance quarrels can further complicate matters.

Disputes over estates can occur after a loved one’s passing for several reasons. These may include questioning the legality of a Will, being left out of a Will, challenging a Will, the mental ability of the Will’s creator at the time of signing, or the Will not being properly executed.

Should you find yourself excluded from a Will, or if you believe your inheritance is insufficient, our firm can support you in challenging or disputing the Will to secure a fair settlement (restrictions may apply).
