Case one

This was a will dispute involving a daughter whose mother died and the whole of her estate went by joint tenancy to the father it was a substantial estate and there were five children.

Unfortunately there was very bad blood in the family and the daughter was thrown out of the home, she decided to contest the will so proceedings contesting the will were instituted on a no win no fee basis claiming that the share that passed by joint tenancy to the father should be part of the notational estate of the mother. In the end I was able to achieve a settlement where the daughter received exactly what she would’ve received if the father had died at the same time and the estate was equally divided between the children.

If proceedings contesting the will had not been commenced there was a distinct possibility that she would have been left out of the father’s estate as she and the father did not get on and he was the one that threw her out of the house.
