After a family member passes away, you may find yourself grieving and wondering if their will is fair, valid or true to what they wanted. You may similarly be concerned about testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud, or how the will was prepared and signed. You may wish to defend the will in some cases, where someone else is making a claim against the estate. This is when Armstrong Legal stands ready to help with these concerns.

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 your name has not been included in a will, we can advise you on contesting it in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. When the validity of a will is in dispute, we can advise you on testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud and any other concerns that you or someone else may have. If you are an executor or administrator, we can help you in defending a will against claims about validity or family provision.

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. This means you do not pay legal fees upfront, and fees can wait until the matter has been resolved or if you achieve a successful outcome, such as a negotiated settlement or 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 "inheritance dispute legal advice Melbourne" or "how long do you have to contest a will", 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.
