How JMW Can Help
When you feel that a loved one’s will does not properly provide for you, or you believe you have lost out due to a mistake with the will, then it may be necessary to challenge its validity. Alternatively, if your loved one did not leave a will and as a result you have been excluded from their estate, then it may be possible to make a claim on their estate. However, this can be a complicated process that needs to be handled efficiently to prevent beneficiaries from facing delays in receiving their rightful inheritance.
