Wills and Estates law encompasses a complex range of legal issues. But as the lawyers working in the area know, the main challenges and rewards can often come from the broader circumstances of each dispute – the family relationships involved, the last wishes of a loved one about the property they owned and cared about. The ABC programme ‘Fisk’ has made popular some of the more ‘quirky’ aspects of this area of practice. Given the array of issues that can arise, there is great value in the knowledge of senior members of the profession who have ‘seen it all’ (or nearly). HOCW’s Wills and Estates team works closely with experienced barristers to ensure clients are well advised in estate litigation matters. Mr Stewart McNab has practised in the area of Wills and Estates for over 50 years. Stewart was generous enough to share his insights about Wills and Estates law with Natalie Talia, Senior Associate.
