To get started, reach out to us to speak with one of our contested wills lawyers. We offer obligation-free initial consultations where you have the opportunity to discuss your relationship with the deceased, the terms of the will (if applicable), the nature and value of the estate, the other interested parties and the reason for the dispute, allowing us to understand your circumstances. From there, we can assess whether you may be eligible to make a family provision claim, review concerns about the validity of a will or help you respond to a claim if you're defending a will. If you've been looking up "estate dispute lawyer QLD" or "contest a will lawyer bendigo" to find support, we can explain your options, the likely next steps, possible costs and any relevant time limits. We may offer a "No Win No Fee" arrangement for some family provision claims after assessing your eligibility and the merits of your claim. Likewise, in some will dispute matters, we may offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement if you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or are the executor appointed under the will.

Jonathan was great to work with, professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. They explained everything clearly, stayed on top of things, and really made the whole process a lot less stressful. Highly recommend if you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
