When disputes arise over the distribution of an estate, the emotional and financial toll can be significant. At Featherstone & Associates, we provide comprehensive legal support for individuals involved in estate litigation, ensuring that our clients' rights are protected and that the intentions of the deceased are honoured.
Estate litigation typically involves legal disputes regarding the distribution of assets or the validity of a will. These disputes can arise from a variety of situations, including questions over testamentary capacity, undue influence, improper execution of the will, or concerns over asset mismanagement by executors or trustees.
Our experienced team at Featherstone & Associates has extensive expertise in handling complex estate disputes, and we're committed to providing practical and strategic advice to help resolve matters efficiently and effectively.
We assist clients in a wide range of estate-related disputes, including:
When there are questions about the mental capacity of the testator (the person who made the will), we provide legal support to challenge or defend the validity of the will.
If there are suspicions that someone may have exerted undue influence on the testator, we help investigate and pursue claims to ensure a fair distribution of the estate.
Disputes often arise over how executors and trustees manage and distribute estate assets. We represent clients in addressing concerns over mismanagement, failure to adhere to the terms of the will, or breaches of fiduciary duty.
If you've been unfairly left out of a will, or if you believe you should have received more, we can assist in making a family provision claim to ensure a fair distribution of the estate.
Disputes can arise from unclear or ambiguous language in a will. We help clients navigate these issues by providing legal advice on the proper interpretation of the will or pursuing rectification if there has been a drafting error.
At Featherstone & Associates, we understand that estate disputes are often deeply personal and emotionally charged. Our approach combines legal expertise with empathy, helping clients navigate these sensitive matters with professionalism and care. We work closely with our clients to develop tailored strategies that prioritise the best outcomes, whether through mediation or litigation.
