If you have been omitted from a will, we can advise you on your options for contesting it in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. If you suspect a will is invalid, we can advise you about capacity, undue influence, fraud or whether the will was made correctly. If you are an executor or administrator, we can help you in defending a will against claims about validity, family provision or estate administration. We also support clients regarding other estate disputes, including will interpretation, rectification, executor removal, statutory wills and estate administration disputes.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation. During your initial consultation, your lawyer will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the terms of the will, the estate and the reason for the dispute. If you are considering challenging or contesting a will, we can evaluate your eligibility for a family provision claim and review concerns about capacity, undue pressure, fraud or how the will was executed. On the other hand, should you need to defend a will, we will help you reply to the claim and protect the estate's interests. We may, in some family provision claims, offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement following a case-by-case assessment. This means legal costs will only be payable if the parties settle or if a Court order is issued, with the fees paid from the estate. In some estate litigation matters, we may offer a Pay-at-End arrangement if you have an entitlement to part of the estate. You can speak with our contested wills lawyers for a case assessment, whether you're browsing for "will dispute lawyer brisbane" or "contesting a will solicitors near me". If you have questions about "Family Provision Claims Lawyers Melbourne" or "How To Make A Claim Against An Estate", schedule an appointment today.
Disclaimer: No win no fee eligibility is assessed on a case by case basis
Jonathan was great to work with, professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. They explained everything clearly, stayed on top of things, and really made the whole process a lot less stressful. Highly recommend if you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
