Disputes over wills are often difficult when you're not clear on how you should move forward. You may need to contest a will if you believe that the estate has not made proper provision for you or challenge a will if you have concerns about the 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 the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will where another person has threatened to make a claim against the estate or is already doing so. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters.

Taking action begins with a clear discussion. We connect you with a contested wills lawyer who listens to your circumstances and assesses your case when you contact us. There is no obligation attached to our initial consultations. We start by asking focused questions about your relationship to the deceased, the terms of the will, the nature and value of the estate and the cause of the dispute. For instance, where you wish to contest a will, we can assess if you are eligible to make a family provision claim, explain what factors are important for your claim to succeed and what evidence may support your case. At each stage, we give structured guidance on your available options, likely next steps, possible costs and any time limits that may impact your rights. Acknowledging that financial stress is often a concern, we may also offer "No Win No Fee" or deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangements on a case-by-case basis following an assessment of your circumstances and the merits of your case.
