Oftentimes, will disputes surface when grief is already taking its toll on you and your family. During trying times like these, you are left to question if a will is fair, valid or truly reflective of the wishes of the person who has passed away.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us to speak with a contested wills lawyer about your situation. In addition to asking about your relationship with the deceased, your lawyer will ask about the terms of the will, the nature and value of the estate and the reason for the dispute. The team uses this obligation-free first discussion to understand your goals, including whether you want to challenge a will, contest a will or defend a will against a claim. For example, if you wish to challenge a will, the team can advise you about undue influence, fraud, testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval or any other concerns that you or someone else may have about the validity of the will. Conversely, if you need to defend a will, your lawyer can help you respond to the claim and protect 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 "contested wills lawyer" or "no win no fee will lawyers". For some family provision claims, "No Win No Fee" options may be available, subject to eligibility assessments per case. Deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangements may also be available in certain matters, depending on your situation and existing entitlement to part of the estate. If you have enquiries about "can a de facto contest a will" or "can a will be contested by a sibling", contact us and set an appointment with a lawyer today.
