Oftentimes, will disputes surface when grief is already taking its toll on you and your family. These difficult circumstances can leave you questioning whether the will is valid, fair or genuinely reflective of the wishes of the person who has passed away. There may also be uncertainty about whether the will adequately provides for you, questions about how it was prepared or concerns about whether legal action by another person could affect the estate. These are the kinds of matters Armstrong Legal is here to help with. We are a national law firm that has spent more than 30 years helping Australians with significant legal matters in various areas of law, including contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law.

If you are an executor or administrator, we can also assist with defending a will against claims relating to validity, family provision or the administration of the estate. The relevant legislation and court procedures differ between states and territories, so our lawyers ensure their advice is tailored to your situation.

Taking action begins with a clear discussion. When you contact us, we connect you with a contested wills lawyer who listens to your situation and assesses your case. You can access an initial consultation obligation-free. We begin with focused questions on your relationship to the departed, the will's terms, the nature and value of the estate and the grounds 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. 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. We also acknowledge that financial stress is a common concern, which is why, following an assessment of 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.
