The death of a loved one is a difficult period of time filled with intense emotion

This process can sadly be made more complicated and stressful if a dispute arises regarding their will or estate. For example, you may claim that the contents of the deceased’s will does not reflect what they had led you to believe and you may wish to challenge it. Alternatively, you may find yourself faced with issues administering the deceased’s estate due to an ongoing family dispute which arose prior to their death. These are just two examples of the types of issues which may unfortunately occur.

We pride ourselves on providing all of our clients with exceptional client care. We appreciate that this is a sensitive area of law and we sympathise with the emotional distress that claims can cause to families during what is already a difficult period of time. Our experience has shown us that these types of disputes require sensitivity, patience, and above all else, empathy.

At Culver Law, we spend time getting to know our clients and understanding the family background. We believe this works well as it allows us to work closely with our clients when instructed to either bring or defend a claim. It remains our objective to resolve claims and concerns as smoothly and as swiftly as possible.

We are skilled to assist with the following issues:

  • Applications to the court for directions
  • Applications to issue or warn off a caveat
  • Applications to rectify mistakes in wills
  • Burial disputes
