Will disputes can increase the strain on families already feeling the weight of dealing with grief, uncertainty and legal questions.

To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation, as we offer obligation-free initial consultations. At your initial consultation, your lawyer will ask about your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and value of the estate, the terms of the will (if applicable), the other interested persons and the reason for the dispute. If you want to challenge or contest a will, we can assess whether you may be eligible to make a family provision claim, as well as review concerns about capacity, pressure, fraud or the way the will was made. Contrasting this, if you must defend a will, we can assist in responding to the claim and safeguarding the estate's interests. For some family provision claims, we may offer a "No Win No Fee" agreement, assessed on a case-by-case basis. This means that your legal fees would only be payable if you obtain a successful outcome, such as reaching a settlement with the estate or the court ordering provision for you. In some will dispute matters, a deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangement may be offered if you are the executor appointed under the will or you have an existing entitlement to part of the estate.
