How we can help?
Expert Litigation + Dispute Lawyers
FAMILY PROVISION APPLICATIONS
At Tusk Lawyers, we understand that disputes over inheritances can be emotionally and financially challenging.
If you have been left out of a will or believe you have not received adequate provision, our experienced team can guide you through the family provision application process.
Whether you are contesting a will or defending a claim, we work diligently to protect your interests and achieve the best possible outcome. Contact us to discuss your circumstances and explore your legal options.
CHALLENGING THE VALIDITY OF A WILL
If you believe a Will is invalid due to pressure, lack of capacity, or failure to follow legal requirements, we can help.
These claims often involve complex evidence such as medical records or witness accounts. We work with you to assess the claim and gather what is needed to prove your case.
Our estate lawyers offer clear, strategic guidance throughout the process.
ACTING QUICKLY TO MEET TIME LIMITS
We know how easy it is to delay legal action during a time of grief, but the law does not allow much time to contest a Will. We act promptly to protect your rights, notify the estate where necessary, and file your claim within the relevant deadline.
If you are close to the cut-off date, we can move quickly to preserve your position and avoid your claim being struck out.
SUPERANNUATION DISPUTES
Superannuation disputes often arise in wills and estates when there is uncertainty or disagreement over who should receive a deceased person’s superannuation benefits.
Conflicts can also occur if a nomination is outdated, invalid, or contested by someone who believes they have a stronger claim. Disputes may involve former partners, children, or dependents who were financially reliant on the deceased.
RESOLVING ESTATE DISPUTES
Court is not always the best or only option. We regularly resolve estate disputes through negotiation and mediation, saving time and costs.
Whether you are making or defending a claim, we aim for early, fair outcomes that let you move on without unnecessary conflict or delay.
INVESTIGATING THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE WILL
If you suspect something was not quite right when the Will was created, we can investigate on your behalf. This includes concerns about mental capacity, unexpected changes to the Will, or the influence of another person.
We collect evidence, review medical history and earlier documents, and build a case that reflects what really happened.
DISPUTES WITH EXECUTORS OR TRUSTEES
If you are dealing with an executor or trustee who is mishandling an estate, failing to act in the best interests of beneficiaries, or breaching their legal duties, you may have grounds to challenge their actions.
If you suspect misconduct, you may be able to take legal action to remove the executor or trustee, recover misused assets, or seek compensation for any losses.
At Tusk Lawyers, we can guide you through this process and help protect your rights. Contact us to discuss your options.
REPRESENTING EXECUTORS IN DISPUTES
Executors can face legal challenges when Wills are contested. We assist with defending claims, responding to court documents, and managing disputes with beneficiaries.
Our role is to protect the estate and help you meet your legal duties, while keeping the process as smooth and stress free as possible.
NEGOTIATING FAIR SETTLEMENTS
Most people want to resolve their claim without going through the courts. We aim to settle disputes early and fairly wherever possible.
Through direct negotiation or formal mediation, we advocate for your best interests and pursue an outcome that reflects your rightful share of the estate. This approach often saves time, reduces stress, and protects family relationships.
