Estates
Losing a loved one is difficult – we’re here to help ease the burden of managing their estate. We assist executors with applying for probate, managing distributions and addressing indemnities.

We can also assist with estate litigation and challenges to Wills or family arrangements when there has not been adequate provision for a beneficiary or a breach of other rights related to an estate.

We can assist with the transfer of assets to a trust or resettlement. We advise on beneficiary rights as well as trustee duties.
