S117 Applications and Contentious Probate matters - Will disputes


We have acted on behalf of parties bringing claims against estates and also on behalf of the parties defending such claims against the estate where applications have been brought calling into question the validity of a will based on questions of testamentary capacity of the testator, the proper execution of the will in accordance with the requirements set out in the Succession Act and also where children make an application to the Court for provision out of the estate of a deceased parent. 


Under Section 117 of the Succession Act, a child who feels that they have not been properly provided for by the estate of their late parent, may bring an application to the Court for provision out of the parent's estate.


We have vast experience in dealing with all contentious matters in relation to wills and estates and whether you are bringing such an action or defending same, we will guide you through the procedures involved and also of course keep you fully advised of the cost implications of the various steps which it might be proposed to take in any such action.
