Legal Overview of Wills and Probate Disputes

Navigating the complexities of wills and probate can be challenging, especially when disputes arise. At Sinels, we offer comprehensive pre and post-probate solutions, achieving stellar results for both executors and beneficiaries in disputed estates.

Sinels advises on will and probate disputes, whether stemming from conflicts among beneficiaries or issues related to the conduct and duties of an executor. Our team is adept at resolving matters out of court, but when necessary, we are fully prepared to initiate formal proceedings. As a highly experienced commercial litigation firm, Sinels is well equipped to handle the intricacies of probate litigation.

We have been successfully advising heirs on their inheritance rights for decades. Common issues in will disputes include determining which assets are included in the will, addressing whether someone has been inadvertently or intentionally left out, and assessing the testator's

capacity at the time the will was made. Sinels can be a calm presence and advisory stalwart in even the most contentious of will disputes, including those involving bitterness, hostility, coercion, and fraud—all scenarios in which we have substantial experience.

especially in jurisdictions like Jersey. Sinels assists with these applications and provides expert advice on related matters, ensuring that the process is handled smoothly and efficiently.

At Sinels, our goal is to provide clear, compassionate, and effective legal support during the often stressful period of resolving wills and probate disputes, safeguarding the interests and rights of our clients.
