Will and Estate Disputes

Disputes can arise between family members after a person dies.  Sometimes a claim may come from someone who is not a member of the family.

A person may die not having made a will or the will made does not provide for people it should.  If this happens, there is the potential for a claim to be made against the estate of the deceased person.  That claim will be made by a person who considers that adequate provision has not been made for them in the will.

Another area where a claim may arise is if when the will was made, the person making the will was ill or incapacitated.  This circumstance may cast doubt on the validity of the will or the provisions made in it.
