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 believe that the estate has failed to make proper provision for you or challenge a will if you have concerns about validity arising from 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 it if another person is making a claim against the estate or has threatened to do 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 guide Australians as they navigate serious legal issues with care across contested wills, criminal law, traffic law, family law and corporate crime. Our lawyers put your interests first while giving you clear guidance to help you make informed decisions, no matter if you're researching "particulars of grounds of objection WA" or "trust and probate disputes lawyers" for legal support.

On top of our Contested Wills & Estates team being recognised by Doyle's Guide, we've been named as a Recommended Wills & Estates Litigation Law Firm every year from 2021 to 2025.

If you believe you have been left without proper provision from an estate, Armstrong Legal's contested wills lawyers are knowledgeable in this distinct and specialist area. On the other hand, you may also look to us if you're challenging a will based on testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, or any other concerns that you or someone else may have about the validity of the will. As for executors or administrators, we can assist with defending a will against claims involving family provision or validity. These disputes often involve more than financial concerns, since grief, strained family relationships and uncertainty about the estate can place additional stress on every decision you make. With this, our team approaches each matter with compassion and respect while providing direct, practical advice about your rights and available options. Family provision claims can also be subject to time limits, so seeking our help and acting promptly can reduce the risk of your claim being prevented or delayed. And regardless of whether you're searching for "particulars of grounds of objection WA", "probate lawyer Australia" or "who is eligible to make a claim QLD", we provide advice across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia, taking account of the different laws and procedures in each jurisdiction.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us to speak with a contested wills lawyer about your situation. Your lawyer will ask about your relationship with the deceased, as well as the terms of the will, the nature and value of the estate and the reason for the dispute. This first discussion is obligation-free and helps the team to understand your goals, including whether you want to contest a will, challenge a will or defend a will against a claim. For example, if you want to challenge a will, the team can advise you about testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or any other concerns that you or someone else may have about the validity of the will. Alternatively, should you need to defend a will, your lawyer can advise you on your response 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 "how much time to contest a will" or "inheritance dispute legal advice Perth". In some family provision claims, we may propose "No Win No Fee" arrangements, with eligibility evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Depending on your circumstances and any existing entitlement to the estate, deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangements may also apply in some cases. If you have enquiries about "grant of probate QLD" or "family provision legal advice Adelaide", contact us and set an appointment with a lawyer today.
