Will disputes can be tricky because you're not always sure what your next step should be. You may need to contest a will where you believe that proper provision has not been made for you by the estate or challenge a will where concerns exist about its validity because of 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 acting as the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will if another person has threatened to make a claim against the estate or is already making one. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters.

If you find that you've been left out of a will or believe that 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 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 assist with other estate disputes, including disagreements about estate administration, executor removal, statutory will issues and 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. Our national team includes lawyers across Australia who speak languages other than English, so you can turn to us, no matter if you've been looking up "left out of will Australia", "estate dispute Hobart" or "family provision lawyer Hobart".

Reach out to us for an obligation-free initial consultation, and our contested will lawyers will discuss the nature and value of the estate, your relationship with the deceased, the terms of the will where relevant, the other interested persons and the circumstances that have led to the dispute. Whether you are considering a family provision claim, questioning the validity of a will or acting as an executor responding to a claim, we will explain your options, the likely next steps of the process, timelines and possible costs involved. Concerns about legal fees are also common in estate disputes, and we understand that. For some family provision matters, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" arrangement, with eligibility assessed on a case-by-case basis. Legal fees under this arrangement would only be payable where a successful outcome is achieved. Depending on the estate litigation case, we may also be able to offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement where fees are paid after the matter has concluded. The same flexibility and commitment to your unique needs extend when you turn to us, no matter if you've been looking up "who can make a claim against an estate" or "family provision lawyers".
