Winning an intra-family claim

• Our client: Greg Harding's client was the spouse of the deceased. A challenge was made to her ability to change her own will after the death of her husband. 
• Our Approach: Family tensions were high and a negotiated resolution was proving challenging. This was a circumstance where Greg concluded it was necessary to get the parties to court for a ruling, as effectively and efficiently as possible -- so as to give all parties “their day in court”. 
• The Result: His client prevailed and especially valued being backstopped by a court ruling to assist her with future family dealings.
