Legal Disputes

When Families Fight: Preventing Disputes After Death

Disputes over wills and estate administration can lead to delays, stress, and fractured family relationships.

Find out common causes of estate disputes—such as will challenges and contested executorship—and how to avoid them through proper documentation, transparency, and professional guidance.

  1. Minimise Will Disputes
    Wills can be contested for reasons like improper execution, undue influence, or lack of mental capacity. Clear documentation and assessments by professionals can help prevent such challenges.

  2. Understand Executorship Risks
    Executors may be challenged if they delay action or are deemed unfit. In intestate cases, administrators are appointed based on legal priority, but conflicts can still arise.

  3. Practice Transparent Administration
    Maintain proper records, consult beneficiaries where feasible, and engage professionals when needed. These steps protect executors and promote smoother estate administration.

About the Speaker

Director
BR Law

Daniel is a general litigation lawyer, with a substantial practice in family law.
​Called to the Singapore bar since 2010, he has undertaken a wide and diverse range of contentious and non-contentious matters.

Daniel believes that the fundamental skillsets and repertoire for any competent lawyer undergirds his ability to undertake the diverse range of   matters described above.

Daniel revels in being his network’s first port of call for legal issues, from corporate issues to personal issues affecting individuals and their relationships. He believes that, even though the legal industry may represent a thin slice of any economy and society, it nonetheless plays a fundamental supportive role to each industry in any economy and society. Daniel therefore strives to be in a position to support as much as possible his network and legal issues they may face.

After years of being in practice, Daniel believes that lawyers are placed in a privileged position where they can potentially make a real direct impact to a person’s life, especially in a client’s darkest moments. Daniel therefore strives to deliver quality service and effective legal representation to his clients, paying attention to each matter that comes his way, or at the very least, to just be there for his clients.
