When a loved one passes away, they may leave behind assets (valuable and/or sentimental) in their Will which is commonly referred to as the estate. WEP Lawyers have extensive experience in wills and estates law, especially in dealing with estate litigation.
Estate litigation is the area of challenging a Will, contesting a Will or disputing a Will. After someone passes away, someone (usually a potential beneficiary or beneficiary) may opt to challenge and contest the Will. This can be due to many reasons including:
• the validity of the Will;
• being unfairly provided for in the Will;
• being left out of a Will; and
• the Will makers capacity at the time of writing the Will.
Our experienced legal team will assist you through the process whether you are challenging a Will or defending a claim against a Will. Strict time limits do apply so it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Challenging a Will is known as a Family Provision Application (FPA). If you have been left out of a Will, or believe you have been unfairly provided for, you may have grounds to challenge a Will. You must be eligible to challenge a Will which can sometimes be difficult to prove as the area of estate litigation is complex. Strict time limits again apply to estate litigation and challenging a Will, so ensure you speak to our team as soon as possible to discuss your estate litigation matters.
