Walker & White
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
We are a specialist Wills & Estates firm heading by our Legal Practitioner Director Mr Andrew Fleming. Our team of lawyers assist litigants in all areas of wills and estates. We act for litigants in contentious estate proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales and in non-contentious matters including advising on the administration and distribution of estate assets, trusts advice, estate and succession planning, drawing trust instruments and wills. The practice is engaged in disputed wills raising questions whether the testator possessed testamentary capacity to make a will, and/or knew and approved the content of a will, claims for family provision under the Succession Act 2006, and questions for determination in the administration of estates.
Notable cases where we acted or our clients include:
Lewis v Lewis [2020] NSWSC 1306; 2017/00130576
Successfully defended our client in probate litigation where the testamentary capacity of the deceased was challenged.
