Wills & Disputes

At Jordan's we understand the stress that can come with preparing or changing a will.

You may have been left out of a will, or feel you have not been adequately provided for?

At Jordan's we have an experienced team that can provide advice and help guide no matter what problem you are faced with. Aside from our Principal Solicitor, Mrs Milena Mijatovich,  our Senior Solicitor, Mr Tony Sutton, who has extensive experience in Estate Law, has joined our firm following nearly 20 years with the NSW Public Trustee and Guardian, and brings with him a wealth of experience  in dealing with such matters.

Do you have a will?

At Jordan’s Law we know how important it is to have a will that reflects your wishes. There may have been changes in your life, such as you recently bought a property, or you separated from your spouse. Perhaps you have a new grandchild you wish to leave something to, or you may have lost a loved one. Irrelevant of the reason we can provide advice and guidance ensuring you achieve the right outcome for you, giving you peace of mind.

No will or intestacy?

A lot of people do not realise that if they die without a will, or intestate, your estate will be distributed in accordance with the special laws of Intestacy. It can also be very expensive to ascertain who is entitled to your estate. This is particularly true if you have family overseas. A valid will can preserve your estate and save these expensive searches and enquiries .

At Jordan’s we can organise preparation of your will to avoid the expenses and uncertainty of dying without a will. Why not make a will that leaves your estate to those that you choose?

Left out of a will?

At Jordan’s Law in one appointment we can advise you of your rights to make a claim in the event you have been left out of a will or if you think you were not provided  for properly. Our staff at Jordan’s can fully inform you of your rights to contest a will and of the deadlines to make a claim. We will sit down with you and discuss the merits of your case in a realistic and uncomplicated manner. At the end of the appointment you will know  what your options are. 

If you are worried that at the time of making the will, the deceased did not have mental or legal capacity to do so, we can provide you with  appropriate legal advice in these circumstances. 

You are the Executor in a will but you do not want the job?

At the time the deceased made their will, you agreed you would be their Executor.  However, you now realise this is a bigger task than you first invisaged. It is more than a name in a will and an Executor has quite a job in administering the estate. At Jordan’s we can take instructions and attend to all the legalities for you such as, applying for a Grant of Probate, collect the assets of the estate, and work with you to dispose  the assets, distribute the estate, attend to any taxation issues etc.  We are here to help.
