A will dispute typically emerges during periods of grief for you and your family. In hard moments like these, you may find yourself questioning whether a will is fair, valid or truly reflective of what the person who passed away wanted. You may also be unsure about whether the will provides for you properly, whether there are concerns about how it was prepared or whether legal action taken by another person could affect the estate. When these issues arise, Armstrong Legal is here to help. We are a national law firm that has spent more than 30 years helping Australians with significant legal matters in various areas of law, including contested wills, criminal law, family law, corporate crime and traffic law. Our contested wills lawyers dedicate their practice exclusively to this area, offering professional, empathetic and timely support so you can better understand your rights, responsibilities and the possible steps ahead. To better support clients across the country, we also maintain easily accessible offices in a wide range of states and territories. From your first conversation with us, know that we approach every matter with openness, honesty and a genuine commitment to putting your best interests first, no matter if you're looking up "process of contesting a will", "time limit to contesting a will" and beyond.

We assist clients with all aspects of will disputes, such as challenging, defending and contested wills, helping clients in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia. Where you feel you have been left out of a will, our legal team is here to help in this distinct and specialist area. On the other hand, challenging a will may be appropriate where there are concerns about testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other issues affecting the validity of the document. If you are an executor or administrator, we can also assist with defending a will against claims relating to validity, family provision or the administration of the estate. Because each state and territory has its own legislation and court procedures, our lawyers tailor their advice accordingly. Our expertise extends to other related matters as well, including disputes about the construction of a will, estate administration issues, executor appointments, errors in a will and other equitable claims. This means that regardless of whether you're interested in "process of contesting a will", "probate disputes solicitor" or "time limit to contest a will after probate Australia", you receive guidance that reflects the requirements of your particular matter.

The first step is to reach out to us and arrange an obligation-free consultation with one of our contested wills lawyers. Throughout the meeting, we'll ask questions about your relationship with the deceased person, the circumstances surrounding the dispute, the interested parties, the estate's nature and value and any relevant details contained in the will. From there, we can assess whether you need to respond to a claim as an executor or administrator, pursue a family provision claim or address issues relating to the validity of a will. We will explain the legal issues that may affect your matter, the evidence that may be required, the likely process, any applicable time limits and the possible costs involved. For eligible family provision claims, with circumstances assessed on a case-by-case basis, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement. We may also offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement if the client is the executor appointed under the will or has an existing entitlement to part of the estate. Whether you are searching for "how can a will be contested" or "eligible persons family provision claim", 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 "executor responsibilities inheritance dispute" and "contest will solicitors", so contact Armstrong Legal today.
