We're a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, and we have helped Australians with serious legal matters across several areas, including family law.

Through open, transparent communication, we endeavour to make clients feel heard and informed from the outset.

At Armstrong Legal, we help clients resolve will disputes by providing clear, practical advice on contesting, challenging and defending a will. Our contested wills lawyers will explain your rights, assess your options and help you understand the likely path forward, acting promptly to safeguard your position before deadlines may pass. We can advise you on contesting a will if you find that you've been omitted from it or believe the estate has not made an appropriate provision for you. If you believe a will may be invalid, we can advise you on challenging a will where concerns involve capacity, undue influence, fraud or how someone prepared the will. We can advise you regarding defending a will against claims concerning validity, family provision or estate administration if you serve as an executor or administrator. We can assist with other estate disputes as well, and this includes disagreements over executor removal, estate administration and statutory will concerns. As laws vary across states, we offer legal advice in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania and South Australia. Our national team includes lawyers across Australia who speak languages other than English, so you can turn to us, no matter if you've been looking up "Defend A Will Vic", "Contesting A Will Before Or After Probate" or "Contesting Wills Lawyers".
You can take the first step with a clear conversation. We connect you with a contested wills lawyer who listens to your situation when you get in touch with us. We begin by asking targeted questions about your relationship to the decedent, the will's terms, the estate's details and what caused the dispute. For instance, we can determine eligibility for a family provision claim and clarify what is most important and what evidence might help if you want to contest a will. At each stage, we give structured guidance on your available options, likely next steps, possible costs and any time limits that may affect your options. We also acknowledge that financial stress is a common concern, which is why, following an assessment of your circumstances and the merits of your case, we may offer "No Win No Fee" or Pay-at-End arrangements on a case-by-case basis. What's more, you can reach out to us when you're curious about "Estate Dispute Attorneys Sa" or "Defending A Will Contest Between Siblings". If you want to contest or challenge a will, need to defend a will against a claim by another person, or would like to ask us about "grant of probate act" or "how many years do you have to contest a will", contact our friendly team of contested wills lawyers for an assessment of your case.
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.
