It can be difficult to navigate will disputes when it is not always clear 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.

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. That information allows the team to assess whether you may have grounds to contest the will, whether concerns about validity require closer review or whether you require support defending the estate against a claim. From there, you will receive practical guidance about the issues that matter, the evidence that may be relevant, the next steps, possible costs and any time limits that could affect your position.
