Will

Have you made a will? Are you sure that your estate is in order? Do you have doubts about the validity of a will or do you feel disadvantaged as an heir?
A will is one of the most important legal documents you can make. It not only determines who inherits your property, but also how your estate is dealt with. However, misunderstandings and conflicts about wills are common. Our probate solicitors can provide you with legal assistance, whether it is drafting a will, challenging a will or advising you on your rights as an heir.

When do you need an inheritance lawyer?

An inheritance lawyer can help you in a number of situations, including

  • Conflicts with co-heirs - Disagreements about the distribution of the estate
  • Disinheritance and the statutory share - Have you been disinherited and do you want to know what your rights are?
  • Doubts about the validity of the will - Was the will made legally and in accordance with the law?
  • Challenging a will - Do you have reason to believe that the will was made under duress or undue influence?
  • Execution and administration of an estate - Do you need legal assistance with the execution of a will?

Our lawyers can help you negotiate, mediate and, if necessary, litigate to protect your rights.

Things to consider when making a will

There are a number of legal and practical considerations when making or executing a will:

  • Making or amending a will - Is your will still up to date or does it need to be amended to reflect new circumstances?
  • Legal validity of the will - Does the will comply with the law and has it been properly drafted?
  • Legal share and inheritance rights - Legal heirs are entitled to a minimum inheritance. Are you prepared for this?
  • Exclusion and disinheritance - Do you want to exclude an heir or have you been disinherited and need legal help?
  • Execution and administration of the estate - Who will carry out the deceased's wishes and how will the estate be administered?
