Segelov Taylor is committed to ensuring that people with meritorious claims are not prevent from acting because of legal costs.
When acting for people contesting or challenging wills, we often act on a no win no fee basis, or at pay at the end basis. When we act of the estate we generally act on the terms that delay payment until estate assets have been realised.
Because we are a specialist, boutique firm with less overheads than some of the larger, generalist firms, we provide very high quality legal services at a lower price.
Prior to commencing the claim we will provide a costs disclosure which clearly sets out the fee arrangements.

Common Questions
A person making a will must have testamentary capacity. This means they must be of sound mind, memory and have understanding at the time of making the will. A person is regarded as having the required capacity if they:
- Know what a will is;
- Realise in general terms the amount and type of property they are disposing of;
- Can weigh the “moral claims” that they should be considering when deciding who to leave property to; and
- Know and approve of the contents of the Will.

Client Testimonials
David Taylor got me through what could have been a rough time with regards to my family estate proceedings. I had no idea of where to start, and was guided by David. He was so approachable, always at the end of the phone to answer questions, and, was a strategic professional to have on my side. My outcome was favourable and I cannot thank him enough. During the process I needed support, and he comforted me with his knowledge. I hope to remain a friend of this brilliant lawyer. He fights for your rights.
