The legal system creates a variety of circumstances where many people have rights in your estate. They range from claims in trust law to, inadequate provision, compensation under powers of attorney legislation and to claims by creditors. During the administration a beneficiary might complain as to the manner in which the estate is administered, or raise claims about disposal of assets prior to death, or raise claims as to the conduct of an attorney prior to the death. These are but some issues impacting upon the estate giving rise to will disputes.
Once the intricacies of a will dispute have been resolved, there is still the process of selling and/or transferring assets to the rightful beneficiaries, a process which in itself can be challenging. Our team of Gold Coast estate lawyers has the expertise to guide you through these complex inheritance laws.
