Difficulties in will disputes arise when you're not clear on what should be done next. Contesting a will may be necessary if you feel that the estate hasn't made proper provision for you, or you can dispute a will if you have concerns about capacity, undue influence, fraud or the manner of its preparation. If you're acting as the will's executor, you may have to defend the will when someone else brings a claim against the estate. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters. We guide Australians as they navigate serious legal issues with care across contested wills, criminal law, traffic law, family law and corporate crime.

Should you wish to challenge a will, for instance, we can evaluate eligibility for a family provision claim and explain what matters most and what supporting evidence could support your case. At each stage, we outline structured guidance on your options, the probable next steps, potential costs and any time limits that might affect your choices. Acknowledging that financial stress is often a concern, we may also offer "No Win No Fee" or Pay-at-End arrangements on a case-by-case basis following an assessment of your circumstances and the merits of your case.

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.
