When a family member passes away, you may be left grieving and asking whether their will is fair, valid or true to their wishes. There may also be concerns around testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud, or how the will was prepared and signed. For certain cases, you may wish to defend the will if another person is making a claim against the estate. These are the concerns Armstrong Legal can help you with.

The most common will disputes involve family provision claims and challenging a will and its validity, but estate disputes include other matters as well. Disagreement about the executor remaining in their role, estate administration, alleged mistakes in the wording of a will or specific issues under a specialised area of estate law are some other example situations you may face. Armstrong Legal's Contested Wills & Estates lawyers work exclusively in this field and assist beneficiaries, executors and other interested parties across a broad range of disputes. Our team can also assist with defending a will, statutory will applications, equitable claims against estates and other types of disputes that you may become involved in. Whether you have been looking up "particulars of grounds of objection NSW" or "informal will lawyer NSW", you can receive practical guidance that reflects the specific circumstances of your matter, as we take into account the legal requirements that apply in your state or territory. By contacting us, you will receive a clear explanation of your rights, an assessment of your options and guidance on the likely path forward. We are also mindful of acting promptly, given the strict timelines that can apply in will dispute matters.

Estate disputes can create real financial pressure, especially when you are concerned with the cost of obtaining legal advice on top of the uncertainty surrounding the matter's outcome. Armstrong Legal may be able to act on a "No Win No Fee" basis for some family provision claims, which means you do not pay legal fees upfront, and fees would only be payable if you achieve a successful outcome, such as a Court order for provision from the estate or a negotiated settlement. You won't have to pay out of pocket where this option is available, as it is the estate that covers your legal fees. Legal fees also may be paid after the matter has been resolved through a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement, available in some will dispute matters, such as one where the matter involves clients with an existing entitlement to the estate or executors. Our aim is to help you make informed decisions about matters without unnecessary financial uncertainty, so you can turn to us whether you've been looking into "family provision legal advice Adelaide" or "how long do you have to contest a will". If you are browsing for "family provision lawyers" or "will dispute lawyers QLD", reach out to us today to arrange an obligation-free initial consultation with one of our experienced contested wills lawyers.
