Disputes over wills are often difficult when you're not clear on how you should move forward. 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 the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will where another person has threatened to make a claim against the estate or is already doing so. 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 help Australians manage serious legal issues with care across contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law.

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. For those considering a family provision claim, questioning the validity of a will or acting as an executor responding to a claim, we will clearly set out your options, the likely next steps of the process, timelines and possible costs involved. We also understand that legal fees can be a concern during estate disputes. Regarding certain family provision matters, we may be able to offer a "No Win No Fee" arrangement, with eligibility assessed on a case-by-case basis. With this option, no legal fees would be payable unless a successful outcome is achieved. For certain estate litigation cases, we may also be able to provide a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement under which fees are payable after the matter has concluded.
