A situation can quickly become difficult to manage once a person or party has signalled their intention to file a claim against an estate you are responsible for or has already done so. The weight of legal obligations, family pressures and uncertainty about whether you can or should defend the will can all appear with little notice.

We maintain a personalised approach to every matter, and trusted legal assistance is available across Australia through our offices in many states and territories. Lasting client confidence has grown from our commitment to honest guidance, integrity and fair pricing over many years, and we hold firmly to the view that you should always know where you stand in contested wills matters.

Armstrong Legal helps clients with the full range of will disputes, including contesting a will, challenging a will, defending a will, executor disputes, administration disputes, will construction disputes and equitable claims against estates. Our contested wills lawyers explain your rights, assess your options and help you understand the likely path forward so you can make informed decisions before taking the next step. If you have been omitted from a will, we can advise you on your options for contesting it in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. If the validity of a will is in dispute, we can advise you about testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud and any other concerns that you or someone else may have about the validity of the will. If you are an executor or administrator, we can help you in defending a will against claims about validity or family provision. We also support clients regarding other estate disputes, including will construction, rectification, executor removal, statutory wills, estate administration disputes and most other disputes involving deceased estates. Our national team includes specialist lawyers across Australia who understand diverse cultures, all of them ready to help, whether you've been looking up "make will for person without capacity Australia" or "make will for person without capacity QLD". Moreover, we recognise that estate disputes can involve grief and family tension, so we approach each matter with compassion and respect.

Concerns about legal costs should not prevent you from finding out where you legally stand. When you reach out to us for an obligation-free initial consultation, Armstrong Legal will explain the likely costs involved, the available funding options and whether your matter is suitable to proceed before you make any commitment. We may be able to offer legal advice on a "No Win No Fee" arrangement for certain family provision claims, and eligibility for this is determined on a case-by-case basis. You do not pay legal fees upfront under this arrangement, and fees are delayed until the matter has been resolved or if you achieve a successful outcome, such as reaching a negotiated settlement or obtaining a Court order for provision from the estate. A deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may also be available in some will dispute matters where you already have an entitlement to part of the estate or you are acting as the executor under the will. Whether you've been browsing for "defending a will contest between siblings" or "inheritance promise dispute Australia", you can speak with us, and we will discuss your options, likely costs, applicable time limits and the next steps so you can make informed decisions with confidence. If you've been searching for "estate dispute lawyer free consultation", "is there a time limit to contest a will" and beyond, contact us today to arrange an assessment with a lawyer from our Contested Wills & Estates team.
