Frequently asked questions
Initial answers about Estates and Family Law
What is the first step in assessing an estate matter?
Assessment begins by identifying the parties with standing, gathering available documents and forming an initial picture of the estate’s assets, rights and liabilities.

Can settlement between heirs be considered?
Settlement can be assessed once rights, assets and parties’ positions are clear. The documents and procedures needed can then be identified if an agreement is reached.

How should I organise initial estate information?
List known assets, liabilities and available estate-identification documents or wills, and explain agreed and disputed points. Do not infer inheritance shares or distribute assets on this basis; facts and documents must first be examined.
