To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation. During the first consultation, your lawyer will discuss your relationship with the deceased, the terms of the will, the estate and the basis of 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. On the other hand, should you need to defend a will, we will help you reply to the claim and protect the estate's interests. For some family provision claims, a "No Win No Fee" agreement may be offered, subject to a case-by-case assessment. Legal fees are payable only if the parties reach an agreement or the Court issues an order, and costs are deducted from the estate. In some estate litigation matters, we may offer a Pay-at-End arrangement if you have an entitlement to part of the estate. You can speak with our contested wills lawyers for a case assessment, whether you're browsing for "family provision legal help adelaide" or "is a handwritten will valid act". If you have questions about "No Win No Fee Will Contesting" or "Will Contest Lawyers Frankston", schedule an appointment today.
Disclaimer: No win no fee eligibility is assessed on a case by case basis
Jonathan was great to work with, professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. They explained everything clearly, stayed on top of things, and really made the whole process a lot less stressful. Highly recommend if you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
