Estates and Succession

We prepare and draft wills from the simple to the complex, providing sound advice on estate planning. We apply our knowledge about the requirements of making of a will based on the Wills Act and accepted Common law practice, ensuring valid and enforceable will.

Our practice in this area entails both contentious and non-contentious probate matters. We are well versed about the Probate Rules under the Supreme Court of Judicature Act and we prepare applications for Grants of Probate, Grants of Administration, Grants of Administration with will annexed, Administration De Bonis Non, Administration Pendente lite, etc. to assist the successors of deceased and their personal representatives in administering the estate in an efficient manner. We also prepare applications for re-sealing of Grants granted in Commonwealth countries and we prepare caveats, and citations. We commence, defend and represent parties in probate actions with diverse causes of actions from challenging the validity of a will, to claiming revocation of a grant, etc.
