Wills and estate planning
Superannuation monies are tied to a superannuation fund which has a trustee who decides on payments. It's important to discuss unclaimed superannuation and claims with our team of legal experts today. The basis of this kind of claim is that the Will-maker was pressured into making a Will. You must show that the deceased person was 'unduly influenced' by a person to sign a Will that wasn't in line with their true wishes. I am impressed with the basic fact sheets on your website to explain your range of services & FAQ’s in layman’s’ terms.

Deceased estate lawyers are qualified and ready to take on your claim. Whether disputing a previously valid will or proving why you deserve to be a beneficiary of the will, we will do our best to advocate for a favourable outcome. This process will usually happen after the document has been legally approved by the courts, known as a Grant of Probate. Until the will has reached probate, the document has not become a legal testament to a person’s final wishes. Once probate is granted, the appointed executor will begin collecting all of the funds and property of the estate and distribute them amongst the people named in the will.
Queensland law allows family members or dependants who suffer hardship because they have been overlooked or inadequately provided for in a will, to bring a lawsuit for estate allocation to them. Although estate planning is a topic most people would prefer to avoid, a well-structured approach can help provide certainty for your loved ones during a very stressful time. It can be a difficult process in a time of grief and you may be surprised at the small cost to have a lawyer remove the pressure from you and make it easy. Whatever your assets, modest or great, self-made or inherited, you owe it to your family to put your affairs in good order for the sake of your loved one. At Madsen Law, we offer compassionate, professional advice and assistance on creating, changing or challenging a will for Logan & Brisbane Southside clients.
We understand that some clients want to be heavily involved in the estate administration process while others prefer for their solicitor to take care of as much work as possible. You should only pay the lawyer for the completion of the agreed job, not how long it takes them to do it and that is why The Estate Lawyers are so passionate about fixed fees for legal work. There is no specific time limit to dispute a Will for incapacity in Queensland, but the longer you wait to speak to The Estate Lawyers about contesting a Will, the harder it will be to succeed.
Wills can be challenged if they are made under the influence of an overbearing relative, friend or advisor. This usually occurs when there is an imbalance of power in the relationship, where the weaker party agrees to the more dominant party’s desires contrary to their wishes. A full examination of all the circumstances under which the will or codicil was made is required. To have capacity, the testator needs to know what a will is, what their property is and the people that have a reasonable claim to the estate. If for example the deceased was not of sound mind, perhaps due to dementia, at the time the will was executed, then the deceased will be said to have lacked "legal capacity" and the will is therefore invalid. Any earlier will would take precedence in those circumstances.
