Challenging a Will
If a person is concerned that a will might be invalid, they can challenge the will. The court can determine that the will of a deceased person is invalid for a range of reasons, for example, if the deceased person did not have capacity to make a will; or was subjected to undue influence or if fraud was committed. Please note that the law and legal process is different in each state.
We provide legal advice for challenging wills in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. The process of challenging a will is complicated and it is important to obtain the right legal advice before you begin.
