Contested Wills & Estates

The law supports the notion that people are free to decide who gets their estate and in what proportions.  Sadly, sometimes the provisions of a will do not adequately make provision for an eligible child, spouse or other person who may have a moral (and legal) right of claim.

If you believe you have not received your entitlement under a will or estate (where there is no will), Clear View Lawyers can help you. We have the knowledge and experience to provide you with clear advice so you can decide if you should contest a will. If you decide to contest a will, we are able to conduct the proceedings for you from start to finish.
