Challenging a Will
Where there’s a Will, there isn’t always a clear way forward. Our team is highly experienced in handling challenges to Wills which is one of their most frequent types of instructions.
Disputes may arise where a Will is ambiguous, contains errors, or is suspected to be forged. Our team is well-equipped to assess whether a contested Will can be rectified, particularly in cases involving administrative mistakes during its drafting. Rectification is often the first avenue of recourse, where applicable.
In situations involving unclear or ambiguous wording, we may recommend a construction application, inviting the court to interpret the underlying meaning and intent of the Will. These applications are commonly brought by disappointed beneficiaries but can also be initiated by executors seeking clarity.
Our approach is pragmatic and discreet, with a focus on resolving disputes efficiently while protecting the interests of all parties involved.
