Learn more about Challenge Will Australia

While families are still processing their grief, will disputes can add further uncertainty about what lies ahead. Questions may be put forward about whether a will is valid, fair or truly reflects what the deceased person intended. Executors and administrators may also face claims from people challenging or contesting a will for different reasons, whether it's a perceived inadequate provision from the estate, testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or other concerns. With offices in various states and territories, Armstrong Legal has advised Australians on serious legal matters for more than 30 years. We are a national law firm that works across several areas of law, including contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law, with a dedicated Contested Wills & Estates team that works exclusively in this specialised area. With sensitivity and professionalism, we explain your rights, responsibilities, evidence requirements and available options in easy-to-understand terms, offering you timely and clear advice throughout the estate dispute. Additionally, Doyle's Guide has named us as the Recommended Wills & Estates Litigation Law Firm consistently each year from 2021 to 2025.

For example, if you wish to contest a will, we can assess your eligibility to make a family provision claim, explain what factors are important for your claim to succeed and what evidence may support your case. At every stage, we offer structured guidance about available options, expected next steps, potential costs and any deadlines that could impact your rights. Also, we understand that financial stress is a common concern, and after assessing your circumstances and the merits of your case, we may offer "No Win No Fee" or deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
