Frequently Asked Questions

The Succession Act

If you need clear advice about deceased estates, obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, contesting or defending a will, or making other legal arrangements for your later life such as the preparation of your will, appointing a Power of Attorney or appointing an Enduring Power of Attorney, Barry Beilby will expertly and compassionately assist you during what is often a stressful time.

If you believe a will or the administration of an estate in New South Wales is unfair, wrong or  suspect (that is the way in which an estate is being administered), Barry Beilby will give a considered assessment of your case and provide you with options and the prospects of successfully challenging the will.                            .

He will also advise you of your chances of defending any inheritance bequeathed to you in a will as to which you are entitled under the Survivors Act if there is no will, if the inheritance is under challenge.

If you believe that:

  1. Your share in a will should have been larger
  2. A particular asset should have been left to you and was not
  3. Prohibitive conditions have been attached to your inheritance
  4. You have been excluded from a will but should have been included
  5. The person making the will was under duress, was not legally competent, or did not understand what he/she was doing
  6. The beneficiaries of the will are fighting among themselves
  7. A person/persons not named in the will is/are making a claim and you are the beneficiary.

YOU REQUIRE EXPERT LEGAL ADVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Barry Beilby is able to assist you as he is fully aware of your legal rights in this area of law and he will strongly assert your legal entitlements if the matter does not settle and proceeds to court.
