No Win, No Fee
Will Dispute Lawyers

 

Our will lawyers offer a “no win, no fee” arrangement for estate litigation matters covered under the Family Provision Applications (FPA) in the Succession Act 1981.

FPA claims involve a person with a closely defined relationship to the deceased who wishes to apply for a share of the deceased’s estate, or a larger share, due to the deceased not making an adequate provision for their maintenance and support.

Problems-withDIY-Accounting

To be eligible for “no win, no fee” will lawyer / inheritance lawyer services, you must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions:

Z

Is the deceased a close relative (spouse/child/step-child) or are you a dependent of them?

Z

Were you left out of, or not adequately provided for, in their will?

Z

Do you have a reason/need for provision (for example, dependent/infirm)?

Benefits of our Family Provisions Application (FPA)

If you want to make an FPA claim you will need to give notice of your intention to do so within six months of the death of the deceased, with an application being commenced within nine months.

Here are some of the benefits of our FPA Application. Contact us today for more information.

What is Estates Planning?

Estate planning (also called succession planning) is putting strategies in place to ensure your personal and business interests are managed according to your wishes when you pass away or lose the capacity to manage them yourself. 

Strategies vary depending on the type of assets you own, your family situation, and your personal intentions.

Our experienced Estate solicitors and paralegals including Scott Lorback, Yolandi Breedt, Rom Ferrier, Shania Gounder, and Karina Jamieson can assist you with all estate matters, from planning with simple Wills and EPA’s to testamentary trust wills, mutual wills, to international asset planning, asset restructuring, business succession, superannuation succession, trusts, complex family circumstances and will disputes.
