Disputes over a will can place added pressure on families at a time when grief, uncertainty and legal questions are already difficult to cope with. You may think the will is unfair, legally invalid or not a true reflection of the deceased person's desires. You may want to contest a will where the estate has not made sufficient provision for you. Armstrong Legal guides clients through these serious matters with clear advice, steady support and timely, sensitive guidance. As a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, we have helped Australians manage complex legal issues across contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law.

Further, our dedicated Contested Wills & Estates team has been listed in Doyle's Guide as a Recommended Wills & Estates Litigation Law Firm every year from 2021 to 2025.

Armstrong Legal helps clients with the full range of will disputes, including contesting a will, challenging a will, defending a will, executor disputes, administration disputes, will construction disputes and equitable claims against estates. 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. When the validity of a will is in dispute, we can advise you on testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud and any other concerns that you or someone else may have. If you are an executor or administrator, we can help you in defending a will against claims about validity or family provision. We also assist with other estate disputes, including 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 "informal will lawyer QLD" or "informal will Australia". As well, because we recognise that estate disputes can cause grief and family conflict, we deal with each matter sensitively and respectfully.

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 wish to contest or challenge a will, we can determine whether you may be eligible to bring a family provision claim and examine issues such as capacity, pressure, fraud or the will's execution. Conversely, if you need to defend a will, we can help you respond to the claim and protect the interests of the estate. For some family provision claims, we may offer 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 "estate litigation lawyers Australia" or "trust and probate disputes lawyers".
