Didn't get what you expected in a will when someone died?
Recommended options (feel free to share with others):
1. If you can't get a copy of the will from the executor or solicitor, apply for a copy of the probated will from the High Court, once probate has been granted to the executor/s named in the will. (Search fee: $30.)
2. Try to resolve the issues through communication and clarification.
3. Before starting legal proceedings, get written legal advice about your options, prospects of success, and evidence needed. It's worth paying for good advice before you commit yourself to action.
4. Act promptly. Usually you need to bring a claim within 1 year.
5. Weigh things up before you start proceedings. If you lose, or if you don't continue to the end, you may have to pay a contribution to the other side's legal costs, as well as your own costs and court fees.
