Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a succession order and probate?
When there is no will, you apply for a succession order that determines the heirs by law. When there is a will, you apply for a probate order that validates it. I handle both types of applications before the relevant authority.
Who inherits when there is no will?
The law sets an order of heirs, usually the spouse and children come first. I review your family situation and explain exactly who is entitled to what.
There's a dispute among the heirs, what do we do?
Inheritance disputes are sensitive and complex. I aim first for an agreed solution that preserves the family, and, where necessary, represent you with determination to protect your rights.
How long does it take to obtain an order?
In simple cases with no objections, the process is relatively quick. An objection or complexity can lengthen it. I make sure to handle the application efficiently and avoid unnecessary delays.
