Disputes over wills are often difficult when you're not clear on how you should move forward. You may need to contest a will if you consider that the estate has not made proper provision for you, or you may wish to challenge a will if you have concerns about its validity due to 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 the executor of a will, you may need to defend it if another person is making a claim against the estate or has threatened to do so. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters.

Getting started begins with a straightforward discussion. When you contact us, we connect you with a contested wills lawyer who listens to your situation and assesses your case. Our initial consultations are obligation-free. We start by asking focused questions about your relationship to the deceased, the terms of the will, the nature and value of the estate and the cause of the dispute. For instance, where you wish to contest a will, we can assess if you are eligible to make a family provision claim, explain what factors are important for your claim to succeed and what evidence may support your case. At every stage, we offer structured guidance about available options, expected next steps, potential costs and any deadlines that could impact your rights. We also acknowledge that financial stress is a common concern, which is why, following an assessment of your circumstances and the merits of your case, we may offer "No Win No Fee" or deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
