Estate Disputes and Litigation

Unfortunately, the death of a family member or loved one can be a trigger for disputes between those left behind. These disputes are most commonly about whether a person has received less under the Will than was proper and fair in the circumstances. There are, however, a range of other disputes that can arise, ranging from questions about the validity of the Will to an executor failing to carry out their duties.

At AB Morison Law we take the time to understand your situation and priorities and then provide you with expert, straight-forward advice about your options. We know that these disputes can involve a lot of emotion; our aim is to help you make informed decisions to reach an efficient, cost-effective resolution that protects your rights, whether this means settling by negotiation or going to court.

• Making a claim against an estate for a larger share (Testator’s Family Maintenance claim);
