Will disputes can place extra pressure on families at a time when grief, uncertainty and legal questions already feel difficult to manage.

The most common will disputes involve family provision claims and challenging a will and its validity, but estate disputes include other matters as well. Disagreement about the executor remaining in their role, estate administration, alleged mistakes in the wording of a will or specific issues under a specialised area of estate law are some other example situations you may face. Armstrong Legal's Contested Wills & Estates lawyers work exclusively in this field and assist beneficiaries, executors and other interested parties across a broad range of disputes. Our team can also assist with defending a will, statutory will applications, equitable claims against estates and other types of disputes that you may become involved in. Whether you have been looking up "contesting a will after probate" or "contested will attorney", you can receive practical guidance that reflects the specific circumstances of your matter, as we take into account the legal requirements that apply in your state or territory. We will explain what's likely to happen next, as well as your rights and options, when you contact us. Plus, we act promptly because time limits can apply in will dispute matters.

To get started, reach out to us to speak with one of our contested wills lawyers. We offer obligation-free initial consultations where you have the opportunity to discuss your relationship with the deceased, the terms of the will (if applicable), the nature and value of the estate, the other interested parties and the reason for the dispute, allowing us to understand your circumstances. This allows us to assess whether you may be eligible to make a family provision claim, address concerns about the validity of a will or help you respond to a claim if you're defending a will. If you've been looking up "contest a will lawyer blacktown" or "apply for probate WA" to find support, we can explain your options, the likely next steps, possible costs and any relevant time limits. For some family provision claims, we may offer to act on a "No Win No Fee" basis, subject to eligibility and an assessment of the merits of your claim. Similarly, if you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or you're the executor appointed under the will, we may offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement in some will dispute matters.
