Losing a family member can leave you grieving and questioning whether their will is fair, valid or true to their wishes. There may also be concerns around testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud, or how the will was prepared and signed.

We're a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience helping Australians manage serious legal matters with clarity and care across contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law. In contested will matters, we have lawyers who support clients through their rights, responsibilities and next steps during these sensitive and emotionally turbulent situations, and our approach is grounded in openness, honesty, integrity, fair pricing and a genuine focus on your interests. Additionally, with teams across many states and territories, we make it so expert help is available when you want it. As a firm that's been recognised by Doyle's Guide every year from 2021 to 2025, we provide the assurance and a track record that helps you feel confident, no matter if you're looking into "family provision law firm WA" or something else.

Contested wills is a distinct and specialist area, and we help clients if they feel like they have been left out of a will. Before you make important decisions, our lawyers explain your legal rights, assess the circumstances of your matter and advise you on the practical options available so you know the likely path forward. Estate disputes often arise during an emotionally difficult time and can involve grief, family conflict and financial uncertainty. That is why our team approaches every matter with professionalism, compassion and respect while acting promptly, as strict time limits may apply. Across Australia, our specialist lawyers also understand the diverse cultures of the clients we work with. Additionally, this helps us assist those who are challenging a will, using our knowledge of state-specific laws to provide tailored advice if you think the will may be invalid. In addition, we can assist when defending a will, representing executors or administrators responding to family provision claims, allegations about validity and other concerns. As you search for information on "inheritance dispute solicitors Perth" or "probate lawyer WA", trust that we also handle other types of estate disputes, including executor removal, rectification matters, statutory wills, estate administration issues and most other disputes involving deceased estates.

Estate disputes can create real financial pressure, especially when you are concerned with the cost of obtaining legal advice on top of the uncertainty surrounding the matter's outcome. The "No Win No Fee" basis, which Armstrong Legal may act on for some family provision claims, allows you to avoid paying legal fees upfront, and these would only be payable if you achieve a successful outcome, such as a negotiated settlement or a provision from the estate per a Court order. Under this arrangement, where available, your legal fees are paid from the estate rather than out of your own pocket. A deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may also be available in some will dispute matters, including certain cases involving executors or clients with an existing entitlement to the estate, so that legal fees are paid after the matter has been resolved. Our aim is to help you make informed decisions about matters without unnecessary financial uncertainty, so you can turn to us whether you've been looking into "will dispute lawyer Brisbane" or "trust and probate disputes lawyers". If you are browsing for "how do you contest a will" or "contested wills lawyer", reach out to us today to arrange an obligation-free initial consultation with one of our experienced contested wills lawyers.
