Deceased estate administration

The loss of a loved one is difficult enough without having to wade through the legal requirements and administrative paperwork associated with dealing with an estate.

Wendy McLay Conveyancing & Legal supports executors and families during this challenging time by providing a prompt and compassionate service in order to assess, collect and administer the assets of the estate, and advise on any legal issues arising out of the terms of the Will and/or the distribution of the estate.

We also advise families on how to deal with intestacy in the event a loved one has died without making a will.

Will disputes

There are many reasons why the terms of a will might be disputed, particularly as modern family structures can be more complex than in previous generations. In the past, unequal treatment between sons and daughters often went unquestioned but this is no longer the case.

The blended family scenario involving children from previous marriages may also give rise to disputes as can leaving a family member out of the Will entirely.

Whether you wish to make a claim against an estate or you are an executor or beneficiary seeking to defend a claim, Wendy McLay Conveyancing & Legal can advise you on your rights and obligations and how to manage and resolve your case effectively both in terms of time and cost.
