Will disputes can increase the strain on families already feeling the weight of dealing with grief, uncertainty and legal questions.

Armstrong Legal helps clients with the full range of will disputes, including contesting a will, challenging a will and defending a will. 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 a will has excluded you as a beneficiary, we can advise on contesting it in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. If you think a will might be invalid, we can advise on issues such as capacity, undue influence, fraud or whether the will was properly made. If you are an executor or administrator, we can help you in defending a will against claims about validity, family provision or estate administration. We also offer guidance on other estate disputes, for example, will interpretation, rectification, executor removal, statutory wills and estate administration disputes. Our national team includes lawyers across Australia who understand diverse cultures and speak languages other than English, all of them ready to help, whether you've been looking up "Is A Handwritten Will Valid Nt" or "Left Out Of Will Nt". Further, we understand estate disputes often involve grief and family strain, so we handle every matter with compassion and respect.
To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation. At your first consultation, your lawyer will ask about your relationship with the deceased, the will's terms, the estate and the reasoning for the dispute. If you are considering challenging or contesting a will, we can evaluate your eligibility for a family provision claim and review concerns about capacity, undue pressure, fraud or how the will was executed. 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 certain family provision claims, we may provide a "No Win No Fee" agreement assessed on a case-by-case basis. Under this arrangement, legal fees are payable only if the parties reach an agreement or the Court makes an order, and they are deducted from the estate. In certain estate litigation cases, we may provide a Pay-at-End arrangement where you are entitled to part of the estate. You can speak with our contested wills lawyers for a case assessment, whether you're browsing for "informal will act" or "family provision claim lawyer". If you have questions about "Family Provision Solicitors" or "Will Dispute Lawyers Adelaide", 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.
