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.
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Conflicts can also occur if a nomination is outdated, invalid, or contested by someone who believes they have a stronger claim.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.
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.
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.
Our approach to Wills & Estate Disputes
This video discusses the complex and often emotional family dynamics that can arise after the death of a loved one, particularly in situations where a child has been excluded from a will or where last minute changes have been made to a parent’s estate. It reflects common experiences shared by clients who come to Tusk Lawyers feeling uncertain, guilty or uncomfortable about seeking legal advice when contesting a will or raising concerns about an estate.
The video highlights how Tusk Lawyers approaches wills and estate disputes with clear, straightforward communication and a strong focus on practical outcomes. Rather than using complicated legal language, our team works to put clients at ease and guide them toward an early and effective resolution. These types of disputes are incredibly common and affect people from all walks of life, which is why early legal advice can be critical in protecting your rights and addressing unfair outcomes.
If you have been left out of a will or not adequately provided for, you may be eligible to contest a will in New South Wales by making a family provision claim under the Succession Act 2006 NSW. This type of claim allows certain people, including a spouse, former spouse, child, stepchild or dependant, to seek proper provision from a deceased estate where the will does not adequately provide for their maintenance, education or advancement in life.
When considering a family provision claim, the court will assess factors such as your financial circumstances, your relationship with the deceased, your current and future needs, and the size and nature of the estate. There are strict time limits for contesting a will in NSW, so obtaining legal advice as early as possible is essential.
Tusk Lawyers has extensive experience acting for clients contesting wills and estate disputes in NSW. We offer a free initial assessment to help you understand whether you are eligible to make a claim and what your next steps may be.
