Want to Protect Your Inheritance from Dispute? We Can Help.
The Personal Representative or Executor of the Will has an obligation to defend
the terms of the Will. You should get independent advice if the Personal Representative:
- Has not taken steps to protect your inheritance;
- Has not made your rights in the dispute clear;
- Does not keep you informed with how the dispute is progressing;
- Does not have the same view as you in relation to the defence of your inheritance; or
- Is the Public Trustee or a professional Trustee or Executor Company.
It is common for the Public Trustee or a Professional Trustee or Executor Company
to be appointed as Executor under a Will. Professional trustees are effective at
administering Deceased Estates but in our experience, if an Estate becomes the subject
of a dispute they prefer for the interested beneficiaries to defend their own gift.
If your entitlement is under threat you should contact us immediately so we can
fight to protect your inheritance. If you delay, you may miss the opportunity to
defend your inheritance.
