Legal uncertainty alongside grief creates real stress, especially when a will dispute leaves your family searching for clarity about what follows. Whether the document is fair, valid or a true reflection of the deceased person's wishes may weigh on your mind.

Clients in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia can get legal advice from us on contested wills. If your matter involves challenging a will based on testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about the validity of the will, we explain how the laws in your state or territory apply before you decide how to proceed.

The first step is to reach out to us and arrange an obligation-free consultation with one of our contested wills lawyers. During this meeting, we will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the contents of the will where relevant, the other interested parties and the reason for the dispute. From there, we can assess whether you need to respond to a claim as an executor or administrator, pursue a family provision claim or address issues relating to the validity of a will. We explain the legal issues relevant to your circumstances, identify the evidence that may be needed, outline the process you can expect, discuss any applicable deadlines and clarify the potential costs involved. For some family provision claims, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement, with eligibility assessed on a case-by-case basis. Where there is an existing entitlement to part of the estate or if the client is the appointed executor under the will, a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may also be available.
