The Process Involved in Contesting a Will
Free Consultation to Discuss the Matter & Your Objectives
The first step in contesting a will is a consultation with our inheritance lawyers to review your case. After assessing the facts and documents, we provide clear legal advice on your options.
Gather Documents & Advice
Once we are engaged, we will assist you to obtain documents and provide you with advice on the strength of your claim
Press Your Claim & Negotiate
After assessing your claim, we may negotiate with the executor or beneficiaries to reach a settlement. Some cases resolve quickly, while others may take longer.
Take the Matter to Court
If negotiations fail, you may instruct us to take your case to court. We handle all legal documents and provide strong representation to achieve the best outcome. In NSW, family provision claims must be filed within 12 months of the deceased’s death.
