Estate Litigation

Estate Litigation and Wills Variation Claims

At Jones Emery we are experienced in all areas of estate law. We appreciate that concerns about an aging relative or the passing of a loved one can be very difficult to deal with, and we strive to achieve resolution as easily and effectively as possible. We regularly provide services in the following areas:

• Wills, Estates and Succession Act proceedings;
• Challenging inheritances;
• Challenging the validity of wills;
• Undue influence and duress;
• Executor disputes;
• Powers of Attorney;
• Breach of trust;
• Committeeship applications;
• Passing of executor and trustee accounts; and
• Negotiating and mediating settlements.

For estate litigation and wills variation claims, we often work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you only pay our fees once we recover money on your behalf.
