Wills & estate disputes
What is a wills and estate dispute?
It is hard when someone close to us dies – and even more challenging if you believe you were entitled to more from the deceased’s estate.
As the shape of modern families continues to evolve, disputes over wills and estates are increasingly common. Fortunately, there are laws in place to help you if you believe you have been treated unfairly. These laws vary from State to State so it’s important to seek specialist local expertise.
The team at MEJ can guide you through the wills & estate dispute process with sensitivity during this emotional time.
The claim process
Wills and estate claims are complex and highly personal. No two cases are the same and have to be treated individually.
There are a number of reasons to challenge a will. From being left out entirely, through to beneficiaries receiving disproportionate amounts, undue influence on the deceased, breach of trust against an executor and many more.
This is why it is important to seek informed local experts who can help determine the best course of action to secure your rightful inheritance.
