Our Gold Coast estate litigation lawyers specialise in:
Contesting Wills
Have you been left out of someone’s Will? We can help you understand your legal rights and get what you are entitled to. Our team will help you understand your prospects of success and what the process is to take legal action to contest a Will.
Defending Wills
Our Gold Coast estate litigation lawyers feel a deep sense of responsibility to protect the wishes of the deceased. We can help you ensure the testamentary intentions of the deceased are fulfilled. Family Provision Claims can be complicated and stressful; however, we will support you throughout the entire process.
Challenging Wills
A Will can be challenged for a number of reasons including if you believe the Will-maker lacked testamentary capacity to make the Will, if it was executed under suspicious circumstances or undue influence, or if it was never signed or witnessed properly. If you are worried about the validity of a Will, we can help you bring a challenge against the Will in court.
Executor & Beneficiary Disputes
Our Gold Coast estate lawyers have the expertise to effectively resolve disputes between Executors and beneficiaries. We can provide advice to Executors, Administrators and beneficiaries on their rights, duties, and obligations.
Public Trustee & Guardian Disputes
If you have had problems dealing with the Public Trustee of Queensland, we can help you have them removed, or seek compensation for the mismanagement of your financial affairs, or that of a loved one.
Statutory Wills
A Statutory Will can provide assurance to minors or those who lack capacity, and their families. We can assist you with applying for a Statutory Will.
