Disputed Deceased Estates in Sydney
Contesting a Will or Estate is a difficult decision to make. You risk losing the support of your family and setting yourself up for costly legal fees. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. At Bridge Legal, we take a peaceful and cost-effective approach to resolving disputed deceased estates in Sydney and Brisbane.
Why Should I Dispute a Will or Estate?
There are many reasons why a Will or Estate may be contested.
If you feel the deceased was incapable of making decisions for themselves, whether from outside influence, lack of mental capacity, forgery, fraud or by force, you may be eligible to make a claim.
If you’re able to prove you’ve been unfairly provided for in a Will or Estate, you may also be eligible to make a claim.
How Do I Know I’m Eligible to Make a Claim?
Our experienced legal advisors assess your case and the many factors that influence your chance of success. Some of the key points we assess include:
- Your current financial position and how the lack of provisions affects your ability to maintain, educate and advance you forward in life.
- The overall nature and size of the deceased’s estate
- The nature of your relationship with the deceased
- The relationship between the deceased and other people who have legitimate claims to the estate.
We assess these crucial factors and give you an honest answer regarding the success of your claim. If we conclude your claim has a good chance of success, we move forward with mediation.
Saving You From Costly Legal Fees
Mediation has a high success rate among disputed deceased estates in Brisbane and Sydney. It’s more cost-effective than going to court, quicker and far less stressful on the parties involved.
