Inheritance, Succession and Trust Disputes

We understand that the death of a loved one can be a difficult time, which (in an ideal world) should not be complicated by disputes between family members, however, this isn’t always the case.

We pride ourselves on our sensitivity, empathy and our ability to expertly navigate any issues that arise with respect to any will or trust.

We are experienced with:

• applications for the removal of a trustee or an executor of a deceased estate;
• contesting wills that were made when the testator was vulnerable to the influence of others or otherwise lacked capacity;
• family provision applications (Queensland and New South Wales), Testators Family Maintenance claims (Victoria);
• bringing and defending claims on behalf of the estate;
• applications for probate in solemn form and letters of adminstration; and
• applications for directions regarding the administration of the estate.

There are very short and strict time limitations for filing applications in respect of deceased estates. We recommend that you seek legal advice as soon as possible to identify whether you have a valid claim and are within time.

Dark Legal will in most cases agree to act for beneficiaries, or potential beneficiaries, on a no-win no-fee basis. Call us today for a free consultation to determine how we can help you.
