Whether their estate is simple or complex, a person’s death or incapacity can create tensions that may lead to disputes. Disputes may arise even where the person has made a will, entered into a trust deed for the disposition and management of their assets, or has executed a power of attorney or protection mandate over their person or property. These disputes may end up in a courtroom. Our National Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution group expertly assists clients in navigating these risks, with the aim of arriving at a resolution expeditiously and effectively.
