Estate disputes

Some of life’s big decisions can happen when we least expect it – a sudden accident, medical diagnosis, mental illness or ageing – any could affect your ability to make important life decisions.  We have too often seen the destructive effects of parents, in particular, dying without a Will and the stresses and strains it can cause to families not to mention the cost.

Obtaining probate or letters of administration can be a time-consuming and draining experience for executors or administrators. HLH are capable of achieving an outcome which not only saves you time and headaches, but is cost-effective to both you and the estate.

Disputes regarding wills and estates do happen. With societies increading wealth, extended families and our general lives being so complex, the death of a loved one can cause a lot of hidden issues between family members. Inevitably this can give rise to a dispute over that loved one's Will and assets.

If you wish to challenge a person's Will or if you are the Executor of a Will that someone is disputing, it is crucial to contact HLH as soon as possible as there are time constraints within the Court system.  Early contacting of HLH to provide the advantage of our lawyers securing a prompt resolution of the dispute thereby saving the estate (and the parties) large sums of money in legal costs.

Our experience in dealing with this most trying aspect gives you the confidence and relief to know that it can be dealt with efficiently and cost effectively.
