Families often encounter will disputes while they're grieving and trying to figure out what to do next. It is not uncommon for family members to question whether a will is fair, valid or reflects the deceased person's wishes. Whether it's a perceived inadequate provision from the estate, testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or other concerns, executors and administrators may also face claims from people challenging or contesting a will. For over 30 years, Armstrong Legal has advised Australians on major legal matters from offices across various states and territories.

At Armstrong Legal, we help clients resolve will disputes by providing clear, practical advice on contesting, challenging and defending a will. 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. On the occasion that you're omitted from a will or think that the estate has failed to make suitable 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 testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or any other concerns that you or someone else may have about the validity of the will. We can advise you regarding defending a will against claims concerning validity or family provision if you serve as an executor or administrator. We also provide support for other estate disputes, including disagreements about executor removal, estate administration and statutory will issues, as well as other equitable claims such as promissory estoppel. Because laws vary from state to state, we offer legal advice across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania and South Australia.

When you reach out to us at Armstrong Legal, you'll get an obligation-free initial consultation with a lawyer, during which they will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the terms of the will (where applicable), and the nature and value of the estate. They may also ask about any other interested parties and the reason why the dispute has arisen. From those details, the team can evaluate whether you require support defending the estate against a claim, whether concerns about validity should be examined more closely or whether you have grounds to contest the will. Your lawyer will then guide you through the issues that matter, the evidence that may be relevant, any deadlines affecting your position, possible costs and the next steps. Some family provision claims may qualify for a "No Win No Fee" arrangement, while certain other disputes may be eligible for a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement.
