• Will Disputes: In cases of challenges to the validity of the Will or disputes between beneficiaries, representation is provided to protect interests and work towards a resolution.
• Estate Administration: From notifying relevant organisations to ensuring all assets are distributed in accordance with the Will, every detail is handled, including the settlement of debts, taxes, and expenses, leading to the final distribution of the estate.
