Frequently asked questions
Can a will be challenged?
Yes, where there are legal grounds such as the testator's lack of capacity, formal errors, coercion or fraud.
What are the time limits for making a claim as an heir?
The time limits vary depending on the type of claim, but it is important to act quickly to protect your rights.
Is it better to attempt an amicable agreement or go straight to court?
