Hong Kong Wills Lawyer

The work of this department is divided into two parts: non-contentious and contentious.

The non-contentious part involves advice and assistance to clients in planning the disposal of their personal assets. The services a Hong Kong wills lawyer provides will ensure that the assets of clients could be used in a way that best accords with their intention and properly provide for the welfare of those entitled to the assets. Services provided include:

• Advice on inheritance law and procedures
• Drafting wills
• Application for grant of probate and distribution of assets thereafter

The Hong Kong probate lawyers also handle contentious probate matters including:

• Making/defending application for dependant persons, children or widows under the Inheritance (Provisions for Family and Dependants) Ordinance
• Challenging/defending validity of wills
• Claiming/defending entitlements of illegitimate children and concubines
• Taking/defending actions for improper administration of estate
