Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you service in Wingham?
We provide legal services throughout Wingham and surrounding areas, including Killawarra, Marlee, Mondrook, Burrell Creek, Bootawa, Tinonee and Taree.
What is the process for contesting a will?
Contesting a will may involve filing a legal claim if an eligible person believes they were unfairly excluded or not adequately provided for. Common reasons can include financial need, undue influence or lack of testamentary capacity. A court assesses the claim based on evidence, the deceased’s intentions and legal entitlements before determining any adjustments.
Why is conveyancing important when buying or selling property?
Conveyancing aims to ensure a property transaction is legally valid. It involves reviewing contracts, conducting title searches, handling settlements and ensuring compliance with regulations. A conveyancer or solicitor manages legal risks, identifies potential property issues and ensures all financial and contractual obligations are met, protecting both buyers and sellers throughout the process.
