Where there’s a will, there’s a way with MEJ
When it comes to disputes over a will, it’s best to get on the front foot by understanding your rights, says a partner at Maliganis Edwards Johnson, Craig Edwards.
Sometimes people don’t leave a will, or if they have, it may be invalid, or poorly prepared. Other times, even when a will is valid, someone may not have been adequately provided for.
“A lot of people don’t know what to do or where to start when a relative dies and a solicitor can guide them through that,” he says. “It can be emotional work, and if there are disputes, a solicitor is able to ‘step back’ to assess the individuals rights.”
Craig can help people navigate wills and estate problems.
“Often there are oversights, particularly in an extended or blended family, or when a family member with illness or special needs has not been adequately provided for. It need not be a vindictive oversight, but the financial distress remains.
“Challenging a will can involve complex family and financial histories.
But a proper outcome can be obtained, with the help of professional advice.
“I like speaking with my clients and guiding them to a proper result. In essence we untangle problems caused by a bad will.”
