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. At your initial consultation, your lawyer will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the terms of the will (if applicable), 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. Contrasting this, if you must defend a will, we can assist in responding to the claim and safeguarding the estate's interests. For some family provision claims, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement, assessed on a case-by-case basis. This means that your legal fees would only be payable if you obtain a successful outcome, such as reaching a settlement with the estate or the court ordering provision for you. In some will dispute matters, we may offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement if you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or you 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 "estate litigation lawyer near me" or "applying for a caveat over probate in NSW application forms".
