The Succession Act

If you need clear advice about deceased estates, about obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, contesting or defending a will, or about making other legal arrangements for your later life,  James Barkell will expertly and compassionately assist you at what is often a difficult and stressful time in this regard.

If you believe a will or an estate in New South Wales is unfair, is wrong or is suspect, James Barkell will give a considered assessment of your case and provide you with options and the prospects of successfully challenge a will; he will also advise you of your chances of defending the inheritance (bequeathed to you in a 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
