As specialist family and lifetime planning lawyers, we help individuals and families with all types of disputes and disagreements surrounding Wills, trusts and inheritance, including probate disputes and remedies.

There has been a rise in the number of disputes about who inherits and who does not. With an increasingly wealthy population and more complex family structures, this is no surprise. Whether you were close to the deceased person or had a complicated relationship, we will always approach your matter with sensitivity and respect, taking time to understand your situation, your feelings, and what is the ideal outcome.

“I really appreciate your guidance, advice and humour during my inheritance claim. Without your knowledge, negotiating and analytical skills, I am sure the claim would have gone to court and the matter would not have been settled by now.” Individual client
