Will I have to pay to Defend a Will?

If you’re deemed to have behaved in a reasonable manner during your will defence, then your legal fees will be paid out of the estate. However, if you are deemed to have not behaved reasonably, then you could be unsuccessful in being reimbursed. If you don’t want to be left out of pocket, it’s very important to seek out expert legal advice beforehand.

What does it mean to defend a Will?

If you are named as the executor of a will, you are obliged to enter into litigations defending that will if it’s challenged. This can be a daunting process, so seeking appropriate legal advice is necessary to ensure a positive outcome.
