Difficulties in will disputes arise when you're not clear on what should be done next. You might contest a will if you think the estate failed to provide appropriately for you or challenge it if you have doubts about capacity, undue influence, fraud or the way the document was prepared. If you are the executor of a will, you may be required to defend it when someone has made a claim against the estate. 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.

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. If you find that you've been left out of a will or believe the estate did not make adequate 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 capacity, undue influence, fraud or how someone prepared the will. We can advise you regarding defending a will against claims concerning validity, family provision or estate administration if you serve as an executor or administrator. We also assist with other estate disputes, including disagreements about executor removal, estate administration and statutory will issues.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us to speak with a contested wills lawyer about your situation. In addition to your relationship with the deceased, your lawyer will also ask about the terms of the will and the reason for the dispute. This first discussion helps the team understand whether you want to contest a will, challenge a will or defend a will against a claim. To illustrate, if you choose to challenge a will, the team can look into concerns about capacity, pressure, fraud or whether the will complied with legal requirements. Alternatively, should you need to defend a will, your lawyer can advise you on your response to the claim and protect the estate's interests. At Armstrong Legal, we understand that upfront legal fees can place extra pressure on people during estate disputes, making you hesitant to ask about "Will Dispute Lawyer Brisbane" or "Excellent Solicitors For Contesting Wills". In some family provision claims, we may propose "No Win No Fee" arrangements, with eligibility evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Pay-at-End arrangements may also be an option in particular estate litigation matters, depending on your personal circumstances and entitlement to the estate.
