Disputed & Contested Wills & Estates
When an individual has been left out of a Will, it may be possible to challenge the Will and make a claim against the Estate.
A person may be eligible to make a claim on an Estate if they were:
- The Husband or Wife of the Deceased
- A child or step-child of the Deceased
- A defacto partner of the Deceased
- A former husband or wife of the deceased
- Had a close personal bond or were financially dependent on the deceased.
This list is not exhaustive and each matter varies greatly. Our team of Camden solicitors take the time to sit and talk with the parties involved and aim to resolve these matters as quickly and simply as possible, ideally without the need to proceed to Court.
