What Is Testamentary Planning and Litigation?
Testamentary planning is about organising your estate and preparing legal documents—including wills and trusts—so that your assets are distributed per your wishes after your passing.
When conflicts arise or legal challenges occur, testamentary litigation resolves disputes and enforces your intentions. Our services range from detailed succession planning to resolving complex family disputes over inheritance.
Testamentary Planning & Litigation Services
Our firm provides end-to-end legal services in the area of estate planning and succession law, ensuring that your legacy is protected and your intentions are honoured. With a client-centric approach and a profound understanding of statutory and personal laws, we assist individuals, families, and business owners in planning, administering, and litigating matters related to inheritance and succession.
Succession Planning
We help you structure and execute a legally sound succession plan that facilitates the smooth and tax-efficient transfer of your assets to the further generation.
Whether through wills, trusts, or other estate tools, our goal is to safeguard your intentions while minimising family disputes and legal complications.
Business Succession Planning
For business owners and stakeholders, we provide bespoke legal strategies to ensure continuity of business operations and clear ownership transitions.
Our testamentary planning and litigation lawyers assist in drafting shareholder agreements, succession plans, and other corporate governance instruments aligned with your long-term business goals.
Will Drafting
Our team meticulously drafts legally valid and enforceable wills, ensuring clarity in bequests, appointment of executors, guardianship provisions (where needed), and asset distribution. We also provide legal advice on codicils, revocations, and joint wills to reflect changes in your circumstances or wishes.
Trust Creation
We assist in creating revocable and irrevocable trusts tailored to protect your assets, reduce tax liabilities, and provide for beneficiaries in a structured manner. We also advise on private family trusts, charitable trusts, and inter-generational asset management.
Probate Petitions
Where a valid will exists, we represent executors and legal heirs in obtaining probate under the Indian Succession Act of 1925 by preparing and filing the necessary petition before the competent court. We ensure full compliance with procedural formalities and assist with publication, affidavit filing, and execution of court orders.
Letters of Administration / Succession Certificate
In cases where no will exists or the executor is unwilling or unable to act, we assist legal heirs in obtaining Letters of Administration from the court.
We also help secure Succession Certificates for movable assets like bank accounts, shares, and securities, enabling rightful claimants to administer and transfer such assets lawfully.
Testamentary Petitions & Estate Disputes
We file and contest testamentary petitions, including objections to probate and Letters of Administration. Our litigation team represents clients in will challenges, forgery claims, disputes over executorship, and asset mismanagement cases. We adopt a resolution-focused approach but litigate firmly when required.
Family Disputes Pertaining to Succession
We handle sensitive intra-family disputes relating to inheritance, partition, and asset control. Our services include:
- Negotiation and mediation
- Filing and defending partition suits
- Protecting minority or women’s inheritance rights
Our goal is to protect your legacy, ensure equitable distribution, and maintain family harmony wherever possible.
