Will disputes can be tricky because you're not always sure what your next step should be. 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 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. We guide Australians as they navigate serious legal issues with care across contested wills, criminal law, traffic law, family law and corporate crime.

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. If you are left out of a will or believe that the estate has not made proper 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 help with other estate disputes, including disagreements about executor removal, statutory will issues, estate administration and other equitable claims such as promissory estoppel. Recognising that laws vary by state, we provide legal advice in 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 WA", "inheritance dispute solicitor WA" or "not adequately provided for in will Australia".

The first step is to reach out to us and arrange an obligation-free consultation with one of our contested wills lawyers. During our meeting, we will discuss your relationship with the deceased person, the other interested parties, the reason for the dispute, the estate's nature and value and the contents of the will where they are relevant. We can then assess whether your matter involves a family provision claim, concerns about the validity of a will, or the need to respond to a claim as an executor or administrator. We explain the legal issues relevant to your circumstances, identify the evidence that may be needed, outline the process you can expect, discuss any applicable deadlines and clarify the potential costs involved. Depending on the circumstances of your family provision claim, you may qualify for a "No Win No Fee" agreement, with eligibility assessed case by case. Where there is an existing entitlement to part of the estate or if the client is the appointed executor under the will, a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may also be available. Whether you are searching for "how long do you have to contest a will" or "how much time to contest a will", our team can explain the legal process that applies to your circumstances. What's more, we provide advice for clients as they learn more about "family provision legal advice Adelaide" and "no win no fee will contesting", so contact Armstrong Legal today.
