Disputes over wills can add extra pressure on families when grief, uncertainty and legal questions already feel hard to manage. You may worry that a will is unfair, invalid or not a true reflection of the deceased person's wishes. You may want to contest a will if the estate has failed to include an adequate provision for you.

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 you were excluded from a will, we can advise you on contesting it in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia. If you or someone else has concerns about the validity of a will, we can advise you about testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud and any other concerns. If you are an executor or administrator, we can help you in defending a will against claims about validity or family provision. We can also help with a range of other estate disputes, such as will construction, rectification, executor removal, statutory wills, estate administration disputes and most other disputes involving deceased estates. Our national team includes specialist lawyers across Australia who understand diverse cultures, all of them ready to help, whether you've been looking up "do i need a lawyer to contest a will" or "dispute between executors of a will". 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, as we offer obligation-free initial consultations. At your initial consultation, your lawyer will ask about the terms of the will (if applicable), the other interested persons, your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate 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. In contrast, for cases where you defend a will, we can support your response to the claim and preserve the interests of the estate. For certain family provision claims, we may provide a "No Win No Fee" agreement assessed on a case-by-case basis. This means your legal fees would only need to be paid if you obtain a successful outcome, such as reaching a settlement with the estate or the court ordering provision for you. We may offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement in some will dispute matters if you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or 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 "grant of probate QLD" or "contesting will lawyers Brisbane".
