Complex applications

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.

Smart beneficiaries choose their battles wisely

Being a beneficiary of a deceased estate can be uncomfortable. A loved one has died and someone else is now their executor or administrator. You might feel suspicious or lacking control, particularly where you don’t trust the executor.

Mr P

We were confused as to what to do with the Will and Probate when we came in, you made it very straightforward explaining everything that was needed in terms that we understood. Also knowing that you can help with the administration of the estate means we do not have to worry about what to do when the 6 months is up. Thank you.
