Challenging A Will
When someone dies and the contents of their Will are revealed, you may find that you are surprised or even shocked by the distribution of the assets. The law provides a great deal of freedom to a will-maker to choose the people who benefit under the will even though, in some cases, this may appear unjust.
Gardner Croft are able to assist you with challenges that can be made to Wills essentially from two categories, which are that:
1. The Will is invalid; or
2. You have not been adequately provided for under the Will
There is also a separate category concerning contributions that people may have made to assets during the deceased's lifetime, which have not been acknowledged. These claims would, however, be pursued separately to any challenges to the Will.
We have put together a straight forward fact sheet about Challenging A Will which you may like to read. See Downloads on the right hand side of the page.
