It can be difficult to navigate will disputes when it is not always clear what your next step should be. You may need to contest a will if you believe that the estate has failed to make proper provision for you or challenge a will if you have concerns about validity arising from 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.

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. On the occasion that you're omitted from a will or think that the estate has failed to make suitable provision for you, we can advise you on contesting it. If you believe a will may be invalid, we can advise you on challenging a will where concerns involve testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or any other concerns that you or someone else may have about the validity of the will. For executors and administrators, you can obtain legal guidance from us to defend a will against challenges regarding validity or family provision. We also assist with other estate disputes, including disagreements about estate administration, executor removal, statutory will issues and other equitable claims such as promissory estoppel. Since laws differ from state to state, we provide legal advice in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania and South Australia.

Taking action begins with a clear discussion. Once you get in touch with us, you will be connected with a contested wills lawyer to listen to your situation and assess your case. Our initial consultations are provided with no obligations required. To start, we ask specific questions about your ties to the deceased, the will's terms, the nature and value of the estate and the basis of the dispute. For example, where you wish to contest a will, we can assess your eligibility to make a family provision claim, explain what factors are important for your claim to succeed and identify what evidence may support your case. Throughout the process, we provide structured advice on your options, probable next steps, projected costs and any relevant time limits that may impact your rights. Also, we understand that financial stress is a common concern, and after assessing your circumstances and the merits of your case, we may offer "No Win No Fee" or deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangements on a case-by-case basis. What's more, you can reach out to us when you're curious about "how long do you have to contest a will" or "what proof is needed to contest a will".
