For families already dealing with loss, a dispute over a will brings legal doubt that adds stress at a time when clarity matters most. Whether the document is fair, valid or a true reflection of the deceased person's wishes may weigh on your mind.

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. 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 provide assistance for other estate disputes, including disagreements about statutory will issues, estate administration, executor removal 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.

Your first step is to reach out to us for an obligation-free consultation, where you get the opportunity to explain the dispute and receive clear initial guidance. To assess your matter, a contested wills lawyer will ask about your relationship to the deceased person, the will's terms (where available), the reason behind the dispute, the estate's estimated value and nature and the other interested people involved. If you may have a family provision claim on your hands, the lawyer can consider your eligibility, the factors relevant to your success and the evidence that may support your position. When the validity of a will is challenged, the review may examine the circumstances of its preparation or execution, testamentary capacity and fraud. Executors and administrators can also receive guidance on responding to a claim while protecting the estate's interests. Whether you're browsing for "can a de facto contest a will" or "informal will ACT", you can count on us to provide the information you need, including the likely costs and any time limits that may apply.
