If you have been omitted from a will, we can advise you on your options for contesting it in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. If you suspect a will is invalid, we can advise you about capacity, undue influence, fraud or whether the will was made correctly.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation. During the first consultation, your lawyer will discuss your relationship with the deceased, the terms of the will, the estate and the basis of the dispute. If you want to challenge or contest a will, we can assess whether you may be eligible to make a family provision claim, as well as review concerns about capacity, pressure, fraud or the way the will was made. Contrasting this, if you must defend a will, we can assist in responding to the claim and safeguarding the estate's interests. In some family provision claims, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement, assessed on a case-by-case basis. Legal fees are payable only if the parties reach an agreement or the Court issues an order, and costs are deducted from the estate. In some estate litigation matters, a Pay-at-End arrangement may be available if you are entitled to part of the estate. You can speak with our contested wills lawyers for a case assessment, whether you're browsing for "excluded from will victoria" or "can a will be contested". If you have questions about "Claim Super Death Benefits Act" or "What Is The Time Limit To Contesting A Will", schedule an appointment today.
Disclaimer: No win no fee eligibility is assessed on a case by case basis
Jonathan was great to work with, professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. They explained everything clearly, stayed on top of things, and really made the whole process a lot less stressful. Highly recommend if you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
