We all know that having a will is important to protect your family’s future in the event that something unforeseen happens. Let us help you prepare and update your will to ensure that your assets and other parts of your estate end up exactly where you want them to be.

Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of in the event of your death and that your assets will be distributed fairly and in accordance with your wishes.

Experienced Probate Lawyers

Lionheart Lawyers are highly experienced in all matters relating to probate. We are here to help you navigate this often difficult process at a time when you are already dealing with the loss of a loved one.

Our compassionate lawyers take care of all the legal processes such as obtaining probate or applying for letters of administration and identifying the assets and debts of the estate, even those located interstate or overseas.

As experienced probate lawyers, we can help resolve any disputes that may occur in relation to the estate and make sure any liabilities are paid from the estate. We also ensure that assets are distributed to the rightful beneficiaries of the estate.

Process of Contesting a Will

If you have been left out of a will or have not been adequately provided for, one of our experienced lawyers can assist you in making a claim or challenging a will.

Issues can often arise when it is believed that the deceased loved one did not have adequate mental capacity when preparing the will or was otherwise coerced or influenced to change the will.

If you wish to dispute a will, it is vitally important that you contact us as soon as possible. It might even be possible for us to stop a grant of probate by filing a probate caveat with the NSW Supreme Court.

We have the knowledge and experience to investigate these issues to see if you have a lawful claim and to prosecute such claims in court and achieve the right settlement.

If your case requires court proceedings, rest assured that we will be by your side to fight for your rights.

Disputing a Will after Probate

It can be difficult to dispute a will after probate because the assets of the deceased estate may have already been distributed.

In certain cases, if the executors of the will have failed to carry out their duties correctly, it is possible for the court to revoke the Grant of Probate.

For this, you need the assistance of a highly experienced probate lawyer who understands all the ins and outs and can take the necessary action to assist you.

When dealing with any aspects of contesting or challenging a will, you need expert legal advice to achieve your desired outcome..

Contact Lionheart Lawyers today and speak to a multilingual lawyer at one of our multiple office locations in NSW. We are ready to assist you in any way we can.
