Contentious Probate and Estate Matters

Inheritance disputes often arise at a time of peak emotional vulnerability, where grief is entangled with feelings of resentment or insecurity. Conflicts over wills and estate distribution can perpetuate cycles of mistrust across generations if not handled with extreme care. We facilitate family discussions through the lens of the Banks v Goodfellow test for testamentary capacity and inheritance tax planning. Our goal is to honour the intentions of the deceased while finding fair solutions that preserve family relationships. By addressing complex family dynamics early, we limit the deterioration of assets and allow families to find a practical path forward during a difficult period of transition.
