Being an Executor of a Will comes with serious obligations under the law. When a dispute arises regarding the Will, the role of the Executor only becomes more challenging.
At MDL, we have an experienced team of lawyers who specialise with estate disputes. We can provide you with detailed advice regarding your obligations as an executor and assist you in resolving disputes as quickly as possible.
Has someone lodged a Probate Caveat?
Once a probate caveat is lodged, as executor, you are unable to obtain probate until the caveat is removed.
At MDL, we can assist with the removal of a probate caveat to ensure your job as an executor does not become overly strenuous.
Is someone challenging the Will?
As an executor, it is your obligation to uphold the terms of the will. This means that if someone makes an application challenging the will (i.e. seeking additional provision from the estate), you are required to defend this application to the best of your ability.
MDL’s team of experienced estate litigation lawyers can assist you in meeting all of your responsibilities as an executor without incurring excessive legal costs for the estate.
Executor’s Commission
In certain circumstances, an executor can seek what is known as executor’s commission for the work they undertake in administering the will.
If you are an executor and have spent a significant amount of time fulfilling your duties, executor’s commission may be something you are entitled to.
At MDL, we can provide you the advice you need to determine whether you are eligible to claim executor’s commission.
