Negligent Will Drafting Disputes
We understand that dealing with problems caused by a badly written will can be very hard both emotionally and financially. Our experienced team of lawyers is here to guide you through these problems, stand up for your rights, and help you find a solution when disputes happen because of mistakes in the will.
What are Negligent Will Drafting Disputes?
Problems with wills that happen because they were not written carefully are called “negligent will drafting disputes.” These disputes usually come up when errors, confusing language, or things missing in a will cause disagreements or confusion among the people who are supposed to get something from the will.
How We Solve Negligent Will Drafting Disputes
We focus on finding answers to these problems that are best for you. We do this by:
Looking Carefully at the Problem
We carefully check the will to find out what went wrong and why there’s a dispute.
Talking and Trying to Work Things Out
Sometimes, we help everyone involved talk to each other and try to agree on what should happen. We also help with negotiations to try and find a fair solution.
Legal Help
If talking and negotiating don’t work, we represent you in court to protect your rights and find a fair solution. If you have problems with a will that wasn’t written correctly or are worried about a will’s validity, Langham Lawyers can help you.

Other Will & Estate Disputes
Will Validity Disputes
These disputes arise where the legitimacy of the will is questioned, such as where the deceased did not have the mental capacity to make a will or that the will is a forgery.
Probate & Executor Disputes
These disputes are where the executors under a will or administrators of an estate face difficulties.
Family Provision Claims & Contesting a Will
These disputes arise when a person has been left out of a will or received less than they should have received from a will or deceased estate. A Family Provision Application may allow you to receive more from a deceased estate.
Will Interpretation and Rectification
These disputes include what is known as “construction disputes” and “rectification disputes.” Construction disputes are where the meaning of the will is unclear and requires the clarification of the Court. Rectification disputes are where the will does not say what the testator intended it to say and requires the Court to “rectify” the will to correct the mistake.

What our clients say
"From the day Langham Lawyers took over we learnt that not all solicitors are equal. At our first conference Irma Remic organised for a barrister also specialising in will disputes to also be there. That was the first time we actually understood what our case involved. Irma was very understanding in supportive in a case that brought up good and bad memories. She really cared about my case and would keep me updated even following the mediation. I am so happy with the result..."
