Grief often comes with legal doubt, and a dispute over a will adds stress when your family is trying to make sense of what comes next. You may feel unsure whether the document is fair, valid or truly reflects the deceased person's wishes. Concerns about testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud, or the way the will was prepared or executed can deepen that uncertainty. As such, Armstrong Legal is here to assist you. We're a national law firm with more than 30 years of helping Australians manage serious legal matters, including contested wills, criminal law, corporate crime, traffic law and family law.

Armstrong Legal assists clients with all aspects of will disputes, including contesting, challenging and defending a will, providing advice tailored to the laws that apply in your state or territory. Each jurisdiction may have notably different applicable legal procedures and requirements. As such, our lawyers can advise clients regarding contested wills in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia. Likewise, we can provide support in challenging a will if there are concerns involving testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or any other concerns that you or someone else may have about the validity of the will.

And because strict time limits can apply to many will disputes, our team makes sure to act promptly to help preserve your legal options.

The first step is to reach out to us and arrange an obligation-free consultation with one of our contested wills lawyers. As part of this meeting, we'll ask about the reason behind the dispute itself, your relationship with the deceased person, the estate's value and nature, the contents of the will where relevant and the other individuals or parties with interests in the matter. We can then evaluate whether your matter relates to the validity of a will, a family provision claim, or responding to a claim in your capacity as an executor or administrator. You'll receive clear advice about the likely process, the legal issues relevant to your matter, the evidence that may support your position, any applicable time limits and the possible costs involved. Depending on the circumstances of your family provision claim, you may qualify for a "No Win No Fee" agreement, with eligibility assessed case by case. A deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may also be available if the client is the appointed executor under the will or has an existing entitlement to a portion of the estate. Whether you are searching for "can a will be contested by a sibling" or "will contest lawyer", our team can explain the legal process that applies to your circumstances. What's more, we provide advice for clients as they learn more about "no win no fee will contesting" and "excluded from will Australia", so contact Armstrong Legal today.
