How can Haven Legal Co help?

No family is perfect and free of issues. At Haven Legal Co, we understand how difficult it is to cope with a family member’s death. It requires the highest care, sensitivity, and respect, especially if other living members have problems between themselves.

That is why we will give you clear information on the legal process if you’re thinking about challenging a will.

In times of a sorrowful departure of a loved one, our will dispute lawyers in Melbourne will make the process easier.

How to challenge a will

We will advise you on challenging the will in the most cost-effective way possible. Our primary goal is to provide sensible and objective legal counsel.

There are several applicants eligible to seek the help of our will dispute lawyers in Melbourne. These people include:

  1. The deceased’s spouse or de facto partner;
  2. The deceased person’s child (including an adoptive child);
  3. The deceased person’s ex-wife;
  4. A grandchild who was financially reliant on the deceased;
  5. A person who was financially dependent on the deceased and was a member of the deceased’s household;
  6. At the time of the deceased’s death, a person who had a close personal relationship with the deceased during their living days.

 
According to the law, a close personal connection is defined as a relationship between two adults who live together. One or both of them offers personal care and domestic support to the other. The law also states that it is not necessary for the people living together to be family members or anyone related by blood.

Our experienced will dispute lawyers in Melbourne will guide you through the various grounds for contesting a will, including lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, and failure to adequately provide for eligible dependents. We work to ensure that your case is built on strong, objective legal reasoning.

Understanding the steps involved in a will dispute can make a difficult time more manageable. We’ll walk you through every phase, from assessing eligibility and gathering evidence to mediation and, if necessary, court proceedings. Our team is committed to supporting you throughout the entire process with clear, compassionate advice.
