Description

“In a family, the sadness of one is the sadness of all.”

Whilst the author may be unknown, one can be certain that he/she was not an advocate and solicitor. 

Contentious probate proceedings are thorny affairs.  They can be torrid undertakings that see siblings and family members at each other’s throats. 

If one is engaged for a contentious probate proceeding, it pays to be forearmed.    

This seminar seeks to set-out several practical key points that must be addressed when handling contentious probate proceedings, be it from the perspective of the plaintiff or the defendant.  This will include:

  • The initial steps to be taken; 
  • Confirming instructions;
  • Considering the rules and applicable laws;
  • A practical discussion pertaining to evidence;
  • Common pitfalls and errors; and
  • A question-and-answer session.

Speaker

Gavin Jayapal is a graduate of the University of Leeds and a Barrister-at-Law of the Middle Temple.   He also holds a Master of Laws from the University of Malaya. 

Gavin’s primary area of practice is civil and commercial litigation.  He runs a boutique practice in Petaling Jaya.  He firmly believes that the words “written submissions only, decision two weeks later” ought to be outlawed.  

Gavin appears at the High Court, Court of Appeal and Federal Court.
