It can be difficult to navigate will disputes when it is not always clear what your next step should be. You may need to contest a will if you believe that the estate has failed to make proper provision for you or challenge a will if you have concerns about validity arising from lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about how the will was prepared and/or executed. If you're the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will where another person has threatened to make a claim against the estate or is already doing so. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters. We support Australians in managing serious legal matters, providing careful assistance in contested wills, family law, corporate crime, criminal law and traffic law.

As a firm, we strongly value honesty, integrity, fair pricing, timely support and advocating for your best interests. In addition to recognising our Contested Wills & Estates team, Doyle's Guide has named us as a Recommended Wills & Estates Litigation Law Firm each year from 2021 to 2025.

We assist clients with all aspects of will disputes, such as challenging, defending and contested wills, helping clients in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia. If you feel like you have been left out of a will, our legal team can help in this distinct and specialist area. On the other hand, challenging a will may be appropriate where there are concerns about testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other issues affecting the validity of the document. If you are an executor or administrator, we can also assist with defending a will against claims relating to validity, family provision or the administration of the estate. As the relevant legislation and court procedures are not the same across states and territories, our lawyers provide advice tailored to where your matter falls. In addition to these matters, our team handles disputes concerning the construction of a will, disagreements about estate administration, executor appointments, errors in a will and other equitable claims. This means that regardless of whether you're interested in "challenge will lawyer Adelaide", "contest a will law firm Adelaide" or "contest a will attorneys Adelaide", you receive guidance that reflects the requirements of your particular matter.

Once you're ready to get started, reach out to us to speak with one of our contested wills lawyers about your situation. Because our initial consultations are obligation-free, you will be able to discuss your relationship with the deceased person, the terms of the will (if applicable), the nature and value of the estate, the other interested parties and the reason for the dispute. Next, we'll explain your options, cover the probable next steps, discuss possible costs and note any time limits that may apply. Financial uncertainty is also caused by estate disputes, which can make upfront legal fees a concern, and we understand that. It's the reason why, after considering the merits of your claim, we may offer to act on a "No Win No Fee" basis for some family provision claims, with eligibility assessed on a case-by-case basis. We may also offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement in some will dispute matters, such as where you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or are the executor appointed under the will. Whether you have questions about "will dispute lawyers QLD" or "contest a will attorneys Sydney", our lawyers can explain more before you decide on your next steps.
