At Vermeulen Attorneys we understand that disputes over deceased estates can be emotionally charged and legally complex. That’s why our experienced litigation team is here to help you navigate these challenging times and ensure your rights are protected.
We specialize in a wide range of deceased estates litigation matters, including:
Claims on behalf of minor children
If a parent passes away and leaves behind minor children, it’s essential to ensure that their rights and interests are protected. Our team can assist with claims for maintenance and support, guardianship, and care and contact disputes.
Claims for maintenance of surviving spouses
Surviving spouses may be entitled to maintenance from the estate of their deceased partner, especially if they were financially dependent on them. We can help you navigate these claims and ensure you receive the support you need.
Claims against executors
Executors have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the estate and its beneficiaries. If you suspect that an executor has breached their duty or mismanaged the estate, we can help you hold them accountable.
Removal of executors
In some cases, it may be necessary to remove an executor who is not fulfilling their duties or acting in the best interests of the estate. Our team can guide you through the process of applying to the court for their removal.
Matters where the validity and interpretation of a will is in dispute
Disputes may arise over the validity of a will, or its interpretation may be unclear. We can help you navigate these complex legal issues and protect your rights.
