Will disputes often arise when you and your family are already dealing with grief. These difficult circumstances can leave you questioning whether the will is valid, fair or genuinely reflective of the wishes of the person who has passed away. There may also be uncertainty about whether the will adequately provides for you, questions about how it was prepared or concerns about whether legal action by another person could affect the estate. For such matters, Armstrong Legal is here to help. We are a national law firm that has spent more than 30 years helping Australians with significant legal matters in various areas of law, including contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law.

Estate disputes often involve grief, family tension and financial uncertainty, and at Armstrong Legal, we handle every matter with compassion and respect. From the outset, our contested wills lawyers take the time to explain your rights, outline your options and guide you through the process. Time limits can apply in will dispute matters, so we encourage you to seek legal advice as early as possible. For people in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia, we provide legal advice on contested wills. If your matter involves challenging a will based on testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about the validity of the will, we explain how the laws in your state or territory apply before you decide how to proceed.

Initial consultations are obligation-free at Armstrong Legal. This discussion allows the lawyer to gather relevant information about your relationship with the deceased person, the terms of the will (if applicable), the nature and value of the assets, as well as the people involved and the circumstances surrounding the dispute. Our team will then assess the matter and explain your legal options, likely next steps, expected costs and applicable deadlines. For a family provision claim, our team can review your eligibility, consider the factors the Court may examine and identify the evidence that may support your position. We can assess the validity of the will if there are challenges involving testamentary capacity, fraud, undue influence or concerns that you or someone else may have. What's more, we provide advice to executors and administrators who must address claims while protecting the rights of those entitled to inherit. Depending on the circumstances and merits of some family provision claims, funding options may include a "No Win No Fee" agreement, which can help you choose us if you want to learn more about "when can a will be contested" or "can a will be contested".
