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 if another person is making a claim against the estate or has threatened to do 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.

We can advise you regarding defending a will against claims concerning validity or family provision if you serve as an executor or administrator.

The first step is a straightforward conversation. We connect you with a contested wills lawyer who listens to your situation and assesses your case when you get in touch with us. There is no obligation attached to our initial consultations. 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, if you wish to contest a will, we can identify what evidence may support your case, assess your eligibility to make a family provision claim and explain what factors are important for your claim to succeed. At every stage, we offer structured guidance about available options, expected next steps, potential costs and any deadlines that could 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.
