VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Ross Millen:
Hi. I wanted to talk to you today about challenging a Will. It sounds very like a Dickens novel or something that you might read about in the paper, or perhaps it'll be the next thing to replace Succession on a television series, but actually it's a very important thing. And why does this happen? Well, the law recognizes that sometimes you have a responsibility to provide for certain people in your Will. So if you've got children who you're looking after, perhaps even with disabilities, you can't leave all your money to the cat home, unfortunately. So, Millens has a lot of experience in this area, not me personally, but Angela Costin in our office has a lot of experience in dealing with claims. And so therefore, if you feel that you haven't been properly provided for in someone's Will, please contact us, contact me, or contact Angela in my office, and she can advise you about your rights and what you can do about it.
But a second part of this is people come to us and they want to have their estate planning carried out. They might be concerned that a child that they are estranged from is going to bring a claim later when they die. So we've also got very good strategies for putting things in place to prevent claims being made. So from both sides, we can help you make a claim and we can help you prevent or reduce the risk of claims being made. So remember, if you've got any questions about Wills, challenging Wills, or preventing your Will being challenged as part of your estate planning, contact me, Ross Millen at Millens. We're here to help. Thank you.
