Contentious Probate
The passing of a loved one brings with it a huge release of emotion. Sadly,weaved within grief are potential disputes regarding the deceased’s estate and how it should be distributed amongst named beneficiaries and other dependents.
Contentious Probate is a specialised legal area where such disagreements are determined, either by negotiation or by the Court if agreements cannot be reached.
We favour mediation over litigation
Even where a Will clearly sets out the deceased’s wishes, disputes arise. Whether there are challenges to the validity of Wills, challenges to the deceased’s mental capacity at the time the will was written of challenges from dependents left out of a Will, CWD can help navigate our clients through to a fair outcome.
