Estates, Probate & Contesting a Will

Shead Lawyers has developed a strong reputation for our work in assisting clients located throughout NSW, interstate and internationally to manage probate and estate administration. As well as applications for Probate, we have assisted clients to locate wills; apply for Letters for Administration where a family member has died without a will; and make applications for special grants where required, including acting as the power of attorney to make applications on behalf of clients located internationally.

As well, we have extensive experience in advising and assisting clients both to contest a will as a beneficiary, and to defend challenges to an estate as the executor or administrator of a will. We have experience in estate litigation concerning:

• testamentary capacity;

• other wills;

• trust related disputes; and

• family provision claims.

If you think you may have a claim on a person’s estate, need protection from possible claimants when drafting your will, or are the executor or administrator of an estate, contact us to see how we can assist you.
