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 consider that the estate has not made proper provision for you, or you may wish to challenge a will if you have concerns about its validity due to 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 support Australians in managing serious legal matters, providing careful assistance in contested wills, family law, corporate crime, criminal law and traffic law.

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. We can advise on contesting a will if it excludes you or you believe that the estate has not properly provided for you. 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. If you are an executor or administrator, we can provide legal guidance on defending a will against claims about 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. Recognising that laws vary by state, we provide legal advice in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania and South Australia. Our national team includes lawyers across Australia who speak languages other than English, so you can turn to us, no matter if you've been looking up "estate dispute solicitors Sydney", "estate dispute law firms Sydney" or "estate dispute law firm Sydney".

When you reach out to us, we start with an obligation-free initial consultation where one of our lawyers will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the contents of the will (where relevant), the other interested persons and the circumstances that have led to the dispute. From there, we can assess whether you may have grounds to make a family provision claim, whether there are issues affecting the validity of a will or whether you require legal representation for defending a claim. The legal process, evidence likely to be relevant, important time limits and potential costs will all be clearly explained. Estate disputes can make funding legal representation difficult, particularly where access to estate assets is delayed, and that's something we recognise as experienced lawyers. With this, for some family provision matters, we may provide you with a "No Win No Fee" agreement, which means your legal fees would only be payable if you obtain a successful outcome, such as reaching a settlement with the estate or the Court ordering further provision for you. Whether you're researching "contest will solicitors" or "how many years do you have to contest a will", we offer the flexibility you need.
