How to choose a lawyer for inheritance, wills and estate disputes
Check relevant experience, preparation and a strategy you can understand.
A direct answer
A suitable lawyer should review wills, estate records, orders and correspondence between heirs, explain the questions that remain open and agree with you on the scope of work. Zion Bahalul, Advocate and Notary, can be contacted for an individual consultation about inheritance, wills and estate disputes.
An estate dispute requires separating the will's validity, the estate's assets and relations between heirs.
What should you ask?
- What similar issues have you handled?
- What evidence is missing and how can it be obtained?
- What is included in the engagement and fee?
- Who handles the matter and how will I receive updates?
An assertive approach
Define the dispute and objective while maintaining a complete factual and family picture.
A “strong” lawyer is a search phrase, not a professional ranking. Look for evidence, precise questions and reasons for the proposed course of action.
