FAMILY & MATRIMONIAL

Priestleys knows family law matters are complex and emotive and understands that no two situations are the same.

Priestleys has experience across the whole spectrum of matrimonial and family law. We advise in connection with pre-nuptial agreements, separation, divorce and maintenance, child custody and child welfare issues.

We understand how difficult these issues are to face and we therefore seek, as much as possible, to relieve the client of the worry and burden by reducing complex issues to practical, understandable options with the aim of producing the best possible outcome from what is often a trying situation.

Within the context of disputes which are seemingly intractable, our approach is conciliatory where possible, robust where necessary and always ensures that our clients’ interests are paramount. Whether our clients need resolution of highly complex litigation or simple mediation we can assist.

WILLS & SUCCESSION PLANNING

Priestleys knows that making a will is vitally important, but we understand that many people neglect to do it. We work hard with our clients to make the process simple. Our experienced wills and succession planning experts work with you to review your personal affairs and ensure they are arranged in the most efficient and effective way possible to protect your family and loved ones.

Our friendly team are happy to meet in our office, or your home, to talk through your requirements and we encourage you to ask questions throughout the process.

PROBATE & ESTATE ADMINISTRATION

Priestleys knows the probate process can be long and time consuming and understands that the death of a loved one is an extremely difficult time. Priestleys’ supportive team will guide you through the arrangements and our team prides itself on its approachable, practical approach to probate and estate administration. Our team will conclude the administration of the estate as efficiently and effectively as possible and deal with all matters at this difficult time in a professional and respectful way.

TRUST DISPUTES

Priestleys knows trusts disputes can be one of the most complex and highly contentious areas of law. We understand the, often personal, nature of these disputes and the highly-charged atmosphere in which they are often played out.

Priestleys is establishing a name for itself in the trust disputes field and has been instructed on many cases involving trustees, protectors and beneficiaries of trusts who are in dispute and bringing proceedings before the Cayman Islands courts.
