The Court actively encourages mediation in inheritance claims, and this resolves the vast majority of cases. The aim is always to resolve a Will contesting claim fairly, promptly, and as inexpensively as circumstances allow.

Carefully preparing your Will, and including detailed reasons for excluding anyone who might expect to inherit, can all help if it’s later contested.

Make sure your Will is watertight with help from a Will lawyer, so you know your Will will be carried out exactly as you want.
