Do you believe that a Will is unfair to you?
If you have been left out of a Will or you receive a gift under a Will which you
believe is unfair, you may have a right to claim against the Estate. Talk to one
of our Estate Lawyers to find out more.
If you are the Deceased's Spouse (or De Facto Spouse), Child or you are financially
dependent upon the deceased at the time of his or her death and the Deceased's Will
has not made provision for your maintenance, proper support and advancement in life
you may be able to make a claim against the Estate.
There are a number of factors to be taken into account when determining what is
"proper maintenance and support", which will vary between each person and Estate,
including:
- Your relationship with the Deceased;
- The size of the Estate;
- Your financial circumstances including who is financially dependent upon you;
- Your current heath status;
- The people named in the Will and their relationship with the Deceased; and
- The people named in the Will and their financial circumstances
If you want to challenge to a Will strict time limits apply.
Make an appointment to speak with one of our Estate Lawyers now. If you wait, it
may be too late and your right to claim may be lost.
