Estate Planning

At Smith Family Law, our experienced deceased estate lawyers are dedicated to providing comprehensive legal services in probate, estate administration, and estate litigation. Our team assists executors in smoothly obtaining a grant of probate and effectively administering the estate in line with the testamentary wishes expressed in the Will. We also support individuals looking to challenge or contest a Will, including those eligible for family provision claims, ensuring that their rights and intentions are represented and pursued rigorously. For cases where no Will exists, our lawyers offer guidance to close family members through the process of acquiring a grant of Letters of Administration, thereby ensuring that the deceased's estate is rightly and lawfully administered. Additionally, we assist executors or administrators who face challenges to a Will, standing firm in providing thorough legal advocacy. At Smith Family Law, our approach is to navigate the complexities of deceased estates with empathy and expertise, working to secure future peace of mind for all our clients.
