Will disputes often feel difficult when you're not certain about which step to take next. You may feel a need to contest a will if you have not received proper provision from the estate or challenge the will if you suspect issues with capacity, undue influence, fraud or its preparation. If you serve as the will's executor, you might need to defend the will should another person lodge 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 support Australians in managing serious legal matters, providing careful assistance in contested wills, family law, corporate crime, criminal law and traffic law.

Our contested wills lawyers will explain your rights, assess your options and help you understand the likely path forward, acting promptly to safeguard your position before deadlines may pass. If you find that you've been left out of a will or believe the estate did not make adequate provision for you, we can advise you on contesting it. If you believe a will may be invalid, we can advise you on challenging a will where concerns involve capacity, undue influence, fraud or how someone prepared the will. For executors and administrators, you can obtain legal guidance from us to defend a will against challenges regarding validity, family provision or estate administration. Also, we can help with other estate disputes, including contention over removing an executor, administering an estate and litigating statutory will issues.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us to speak with a contested wills lawyer about your situation. Besides your relationship with the deceased, your lawyer will question the will's terms and the reason for the dispute. This first discussion helps the team understand whether you want to contest a will, challenge a will or defend a will against a claim. For instance, if you wish to challenge a will, the team can review concerns about capacity, pressure, fraud or whether the will followed the correct legal process. In contrast, if you must defend a will, your lawyer can assist in responding to the claim and protecting the estate's interests. At Armstrong Legal, we understand that upfront legal fees can place extra pressure on people during estate disputes, making you hesitant to ask about "Can A Will Be Contested Before Probate" or "Inheritance Promise Dispute Australia". In some family provision claims, we may propose "No Win No Fee" arrangements, with eligibility evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In some estate litigation matters, Pay-at-End arrangements may also be offered, subject to your circumstances and your entitlement to a portion of the estate. If you have enquiries about topics related to "how long do you have to contest a will" or "apply for probate nsw", contact us and set an appointment with a lawyer 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.
