Your Dispute In Our Hands
We know that the death of someone close to you is an emotional time, made all the more difficult when their estate is left in the wrong hands. We can help you receive what you’re entitled to.
With strong links to specialist Will contesting barristers, you can rest assured your matter is in the best hands. We are committed to our clients and will strive to achieve a settlement you are happy with. Guiding and representing you throughout the entire process, we endeavour to ensure:
- You receive complete and accurate advice from your lawyer
- Your lawyer will answer your questions in plain English
- You will be informed of your options at every stage of contesting a Will
In our experience there are three main concerns that potential clients have when considering contesting a will.
The first is who will represent them, the second is what the dispute will cost and lastly, they worry that they may end up in court.
Who Will Represent You?
The Hentys team will represent you throughout the entire process.
With over 45 years experience in disputed wills cases, you can rest assured that Richard has the expertise to deliver the legal advice you need, and the understanding to provide you with further emotional support.
What Will It Cost?
In engaging the services of Hentys, you will receive an initial consultation where one of the team will detail the general merits of the case. If the team considers that the claim does not have merit, they will inform you straight away so that you can make your own decision about whether to proceed.
If you decide to pursue the claim, you will be provided with an initial estimate of legal costs in accordance with Victorian legislation.
Will You End Up In Court?
Each Will Dispute case is subject to a court appointed mediation, and in the last 5 years, not one estate dispute claim that Hentys has dealt with has proceeded to a trial. Most of our cases are settled to our client’s satisfaction during, or before this mediation session.
If you have been left out of a Will or you feel that the Will doesn’t fairly provide for you, we can get the answers you need. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us for more information.
