Testamentary and non-litigation work concerns the careful recording of intentions, rights and arrangements. Wills, estate-related documents and other legal instruments benefit from language that reflects the underlying facts and the purpose of the document.
Testamentary & Non-Litigation is one of the practice areas listed by Adv. Salil Vinayak Dabke. The information here introduces the broad subject and helps you prepare an enquiry. The precise scope of assistance is confirmed after the nature of the matter has been discussed.
Matters for discussion
Depending on the facts and the proposed engagement, a consultation may concern the following aspects:
- Wills and testamentary matters
- Estate-related documentation
- Legal drafting and document review
The list is an introduction to the subject, rather than an exhaustive statement of services or advice about any particular dispute.
Preparing for a consultation
Bring existing wills or drafts, relevant asset documents and a clear description of the intended arrangement. The documents needed will depend on the nature of the work and the people involved.
Arrange copies in date order and prepare a short note describing what has happened, what action has already been taken and what you wish to discuss. Mention any upcoming hearing, response date or other immediate concern when contacting the chambers. Confirm the method for sharing documents before sending sensitive material.
What the initial discussion covers
The discussion considers the objective of the document, the information available and the issues that may need clarification. Preparation or review should follow an understanding of the client’s instructions and the applicable requirements.
Before further work begins, discuss the proposed scope, the documents to be reviewed, appointment arrangements and applicable fees. No outcome can be assured, and an initial enquiry does not itself constitute acceptance of a matter.
