Disputes over wills are often difficult when you're not clear on how you should move forward. You may need to contest a will where you believe that proper provision has not been made for you by the estate or challenge a will where concerns exist about its validity because of lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about how the will was prepared and/or executed. If you're acting as the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will if another person has threatened to make a claim against the estate or is already making one. 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 help Australians navigate serious legal circumstances with care, whether they're managing contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime or traffic law.

Armstrong Legal advises clients on a wide range of will disputes, including contesting, challenging and defending a will. We understand that estate disputes can involve grief, family tension and financial strain, which is why our contested wills lawyers approach each matter with care, respect and clear communication. We also act promptly because strict time limits may apply. Our team has experience in this particular and specialist area, helping those who have been left out of a will or received less than expected. For concerns about testamentary capacity, undue influence or fraud, we can review whether grounds exist for challenging a will and its validity. When you want to defend a will or need legal advice on other similar matters, executors and administrators can rely on our team when responding to claims involving validity, family provision or estate administration. Clients can also turn to us for advice on rectification, executor removal, statutory wills, will construction, forfeiture rule matters and most other disputes involving deceased estates. When researching "inadequate provision will Victoria", "particulars of grounds of objection QLD" or "cases where family provision claims in QLD have been dismissed", you'll find that the legal process varies across Australia, so we provide advice that reflects the laws of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia.

When you reach out to us, we start with an obligation-free initial consultation where one of our lawyers will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the contents of the will (where relevant), the other interested persons and the circumstances that have led to the dispute. From that point, we can assess whether you may have grounds for a family provision claim, whether a will's validity is affected by certain issues or whether legal representation is required to defend a claim. We will outline the relevant legal process, the evidence that may be useful, any important time limits and the potential costs involved. Because we're experienced lawyers, we recognise that funding legal representation can be a challenge due to estate disputes, particularly when access to estate assets is not immediately available. With this, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement for some family provision matters, under which legal fees would only be payable if a successful outcome is achieved, such as reaching a settlement with the estate or securing a Court order for further provision. Whether you're researching "will contest lawyers brighton" or "can i contest a will after probate", we offer the flexibility you need.
