If you suspect that there are issues with the probate process or have concerns about the distribution of an estate, it’s advisable to consult with our wills and probate team. We can assess the details of your case and guide the viability of a contentious probate claim.

The duration of a contentious probate case varies depending on the complexity of the issues involved and whether an amicable resolution is possible. PM Law is committed to resolving cases efficiently, but timelines can be influenced by factors such as court schedules and the willingness of parties to negotiate.

While we always strive for amicable resolutions, litigation may be necessary in certain contentious probate cases. Our legal team is prepared to litigate aggressively to protect your interests and secure a favourable outcome.
