Disputes over a will can place added pressure on families at a time when grief, uncertainty and legal questions are already difficult to cope with.

If your name has not been included in a will, we can advise you on contesting it in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. If you or someone else has concerns about the validity of a will, we can advise you about testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud and any other concerns.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation, as we offer obligation-free initial consultations. Your lawyer will ask during your initial consultation about the terms of the will (if applicable), your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the other interested persons and the reason for the dispute. If you wish to contest or challenge a will, we can determine whether you may be eligible to bring a family provision claim and examine issues such as capacity, pressure, fraud or the will's execution. Meanwhile, if defending a will is required, we can guide your response to the claim and defend the estate's position. We may, for some family provision claims, offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement following a case-by-case assessment. This means that your legal fees would only be payable if you secure a successful outcome, such as reaching a settlement with the estate or the court ordering provision for you. In some will dispute matters, a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may be offered if you are the executor appointed under the will or you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate. You can speak with our contested wills lawyers for an obligation-free case assessment, whether you're browsing for "contested will lawyer" or "can you contest a will after probate has been granted".
