  • Lawyer Applying On Behalf of a Client (Beneficiary Legal Fees)

  • Preliminary questions

  • Is your client a Beneficiary under the deceased’s last Will or intestacy rules, or receiving an entitlement under a settlement agreement such as a Court Order or Deed of Family Arrangement?
  • Please Note:

    At this time, JustFund is providing finance to clients who are beneficiaries with a specified entitlement as opposed to litigation funding.  You may still submit this application for our team to assess, but it may not be eligible.

  • Is this application for your client’s legal fees (incurred or future) and/or disbursements (including Counsel and mediation costs)?*
  • Please Note:

    If your client is seeking finance for any other purpose, they can submit an application for a beneficiary advance via the ‘Applying for Myself (Beneficiary)’ pathway found in this link here. (These applications cannot be made by lawyers on their behalf.)
