Wills and probate

When a family member dies, the feeling of loss can be overwhelming. They were someone you loved, respected and will desperately miss. For some families, this scenario can be tarnished with arguments and disagreements about how the family estate should be divided. Differing views between siblings, parents, extended family members and friends of the family can escalate; and create deep rifts that become irreparable.

If the person who’s died has done so, without making a will, the situation can worsen often giving others (including those not directly linked to the family) the opportunity to bring in a claim. Fighting over who gets what can jeopardise any chance of reconciliation and costly legal fees can quickly empty the coffers and leave the estate with no value at all.

There’s no getting away from the fact that litigation can be: stressful, emotionally demanding, time consuming and very expensive. Why go to court when you don’t have to? Your solution can be obtained via a different course of action; that of mediation. 
​

Why should I have a will mediation, I want my day in court!

Due to the success of the mediation process, prior to going to court there will be an expectation that you have already undertaken this course of action. Court is considered the final straw in will disputes and if you willingly avoid mediation, you may well find yourself issued with a penalty, even if you win at trial.
