What do I do if I’ve been left out of a Will?
There are strict time limits, so whilst you’re not alone, you do need to act quickly. In South Australia, you have six months from the grant of probate or administration to issue and serve your claim on the executor of the estate. If you contact us today, we can do a search on CourtSA to identify if a grant has issued and advise you of the time limit for your claim. If you’re out of time, you may still be able to make a claim, but you do need to be proactive.
What do I do if I have been served with an Inheritance Family Provision Claim?
If you have been served with court documents, you are likely a respondent to an Inheritance Family Provision Claim. As a respondent, you are either the executor of the estate or a beneficiary named in the Will. The date of the first court hearing should be stated on one of the court documents you received.
