Will disputes can increase the strain on families already feeling the weight of dealing with grief, uncertainty and legal questions.

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. During your initial consultation, your lawyer will ask about the reason for the dispute, your relationship with the deceased person, the terms of the will (if applicable), the other interested persons, and the nature and value of the estate. 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. On the other hand, should you need to defend a will, we will help you reply to the claim and protect the estate's interests. 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. A deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may be offered in some will dispute matters if you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or you 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 "family provision solicitor near me" or "contest a will solicitor parramatta". If you have questions about "estate dispute attorney Melbourne" or "how can a will be contested", schedule an appointment today.
