At MKB Law our Private Client & Wealth Management Team offers pragmatic and empathetic advice and representation to clients involved in this sensitive area of practice.

Dealing with the death of a loved one is challenging and more so when plans, or the lack of them, cause disharmony in family dynamics and lead to disputes. At MKB Law we can guide you through the dispute resolution process from investigating the merits of claim all the way to a settlement or court hearing.
