When it comes to contested wills in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia, we can explain your rights, evaluate your options and give you insight into the likely path forward. Meanwhile, challenging a will may require us to examine issues such as testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about the validity of the will.

Following this, we'll set out your options, outline the likely next steps, talk through probable costs and identify any time limits that may apply. We also recognise that, for some clients, paying legal fees upfront may be a concern, particularly when an estate dispute has already created financial uncertainty. That's why, for some family provision claims, we may offer to act on a "No Win No Fee" basis, with eligibility assessed on a case-by-case basis after reviewing the merits of your claim. In some will dispute matters, including where you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate or are the executor appointed under the will, we may also offer a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement. Whether you have questions about "family provision lawyers" or "family provision legal help QLD", our lawyers can explain more before you decide on your next steps.
