Stuck with some unusual circumstances? We’re here to guide you.
We all prefer it when life is simple, but sometimes that’s not the case.
We can help you with more complex estates, including:
- Probate of a Will that hasn’t been correctly signed or witnessed (known as an informal Will);
- Probate of a Will that has been lost or destroyed, but which wasn’t revoked by the Testator;
- if you’re not certain that the deceased was of full mental capacity when the Will was signed;
- advice if the Will is vague, unclear or may not be valid;
- applications on behalf of a minor beneficiary or creditor of the estate;
- where the executor or administrator of an estate dies without having completed administration of the estate.
