Disputes over wills can add extra pressure on families when grief, uncertainty and legal questions already feel hard to manage.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation, as we offer obligation-free initial consultations. Your lawyer will ask during your initial consultation about the terms of the will (if applicable), your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the other interested persons and the reason for the dispute. If you want to contest or challenge a will, we can evaluate your potential eligibility for a family provision claim and investigate any concerns about capacity, coercion, fraud or the will's creation. In contrast, for cases where you defend a will, we can support your response to the claim and preserve the interests of the estate. For some family provision claims, a "No Win No Fee" agreement may be offered, subject to a case-by-case assessment. This means your legal fees would only be payable if you achieve a successful outcome, such as the court ordering provision for you or reaching a settlement with the estate. We may offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement in some will dispute matters if you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or are the executor appointed under the will. You can speak with our contested wills lawyers for an obligation-free case assessment, whether you're browsing for "family provision law firm WA" or "contested wills lawyer". If you have questions about "will contest lawyer" or "how long does a person have to contest a will", schedule an appointment today.
