We have prosecuted successful claims on behalf of widows, children, adopted children, defacto wives, defacto children, grandchildren, nephews, and nieces, divorced and/or former wives, mistresses, gay and lesbian lovers, carers, sex workers, neighbours, close friends, etc.
From 1 January 2015, the categories of people who can bring these claims have become more restrictive. There have been significant Court decisions relating to step-children and the rubbery “member of the household” category.
( There is no difference between “challenging” a will and “contesting” a will. “Challenging a will” and “contesting a will” are simply different phrases to describe the same legal processes. )
I was the adopted son. My father decided to exclude me from his will in favour of his natural son. My brother (the natural son) saw nothing wrong with that. I saw an advertisement for Constable Connor on television and decided to ring them for advice.
This was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. A few short months later, I received $100,000.00 less legal fees. Needless to say, I have no hesitation in recommending Constable Connor for will disputes.
