Learn more about Dementia Will Validity TAS

It can be difficult to navigate will disputes when it is not always clear what your next step should be. A will may need to be contested if you believe the estate has not made proper provision for you or challenged if you have concerns about its validity because of lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about how the will was prepared and/or executed. If you're acting as the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will if another person has threatened to make a claim against the estate or is already making one. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters. We help Australians manage serious legal issues with care across contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law.

We acknowledge that will disputes create specific emotional and practical difficulties, especially when family dynamics and financial matters are at play. So, if you believe that a will may be invalid due to certain concerns, you need clear advice before disputing or even challenging a will. At Armstrong Legal, we deal with these cases with empathy and respect. Our contested wills lawyers specialise in reviewing the specific facts of each case, including questions about the deceased person's ability to make decisions, possible pressure from others or even signs of fraud. Besides setting out your rights and the state legal process, we clarify how the position changes across different jurisdictions in Australia. Whether you're contesting, challenging or defending a will, we provide considered details so you can make informed decisions about your next move.

Once you're ready to get started, reach out to us to speak with one of our contested wills lawyers about your situation. Our initial consultations are obligation-free, allowing you to provide details about your relationship with the deceased person, the terms of the will (if applicable), the nature and value of the estate, the other interested parties and the reason for the dispute. Following this, we'll set out your options, outline the likely next steps, talk through probable costs and identify any time limits that may apply. We also understand that some clients may find upfront legal fees difficult to manage, particularly when an estate dispute has added to their financial uncertainty. That's why we may offer to act on a "No Win No Fee" basis for some family provision claims, with eligibility assessed on a case-by-case basis after considering the merits of your claim. We may also offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement in some will dispute matters, such as where you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or are the executor appointed under the will. Whether you have questions about "contest a will lawyer bendigo" or "eligible persons family provision claim", our lawyers can explain more before you decide on your next steps.
