Wills require the person making the Will to sign the document in the presence of two witnesses. These witnesses need to be over 18. They must not be beneficiaries, spouses of the beneficiaries or members of the testators (person making the Will) family. We will give you detailed guidance on how to get the Will properly executed and witnessed.

Our Personal Approach

Death is not always the end of the story. Sometimes you may have concerns about a Will. Perhaps you feel the person who has died did not have the relevant capacity to prepare a Will. Perhaps you feel that someone influenced their decisions regarding the legacies in their Will.

We can advise you of the likelihood of a successful claim, investigate and obtain evidence on and if necessary make a court application on your behalf. If you are an Executor and are faced with someone contesting a Will that you have to administer we can also defend that claim for you.

Other Law Matters

If you were financially dependent on someone who has died and you feel that you’ve not been sufficiently provided for under their Will, the Inheritance Act gives you an opportunity to request additional provision from the estate. We can act in both making a claim or on behalf of Executors defending a claim
