The vast majority of Inheritance Act claims are resolved by settlement between the parties without the need for court proceedings. This helps avoid the stress and expense associated with taking a case through the courts.
Our team has extensive experience in negotiating settlements in Inheritance Act matters. We can guide you through mediation, or conduct written or verbal negotiations on your behalf. We are firmly committed to alternative dispute resolution wherever appropriate.
To discuss a potential Inheritance Act claim further please do not hesitate to contact us or request a callback.
