Cost of contesting a will in Perth
Contesting of Will falls within the contentious jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Western Australia. As such, the costs of such dispute can be significant given the serious and formal nature of that jurisdiction.
The costs may be further impacted by the length of the dispute, its complexity and ultimately the conduct of the parties to the dispute.
In some instances, costs may be recovered from the estate, depending on claim, funds available, conduct of parties and ultimately at the discretion of the court.
We will use our experience and our access to experienced barristers practising in this area to advice and where required representation in court. Our knowledge and professionalism will ensure that you will be best placed to get the best results possible in your estate dispute.
