FAQs
Family Disputes: common questions
Can a family property dispute be resolved without a court case?
Often, yes. A negotiated family settlement or partition deed, properly drafted and registered where required, can resolve matters faster and preserve relationships.
What can a senior citizen do if their children refuse support?
Senior citizens can apply to the Maintenance Tribunal for monthly maintenance. In certain circumstances they can also seek protection of their property.
Is a will valid if it is not registered?
Registration of a will is optional. Validity depends on proper execution and attestation. We can advise on execution formalities and on disputes over a will.
How long does a partition suit take?
Timelines vary with the number of parties, the properties involved and the court's schedule. We explore settlement at every stage to reduce time and cost.
