At McNeney McNeney Spieker LLP, we assist individuals and families with both estate planning and estate litigation, ensuring that your rights are protected and your intentions are respected. Our team brings decades of experience navigating complex disputes, sensitive family dynamics.  

Our team combines experience advising clients under the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) with a long history of successfully representing clients in complex litigation and sensitive personal matters.  

Wills & Estate Planning

Thoughtful planning prevents confusion, conflict, and financial complications. We offer practical guidance with:

• Drafting and updating wills
• Planning for blended or evolving families
• Naming executors and guardians
• Structuring assets to reflect your wishes
• Preparing documents designed to reduce the risk of future disputes

Our goal is to make the process straightforward and comfortable, giving you confidence that your plans are legally sound and clearly understood.

Estate & Will Disputes

Estate disputes can be emotionally and financially overwhelming. We represent clients in a wide range of estate litigation matters under Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA), including:

• Contested or challenged wills
