When Can You Contest a Will?
There are several reasons why you may want to dispute or contest a will. In Victoria, common grounds for will disputes include:
- Lack of testamentary capacity – The will-maker did not have the mental capacity to make a valid will. Testamentary capacity is a gauge of the mental faculties of a testator when they create their will.
- Undue influence – The will-maker was pressured or coerced into creating the will in a way that does not reflect their true intentions.
- Inadequate provision – Close family members or dependents may feel they have not been adequately provided for in the will.
Our experienced team will assess your situation, provide clear advice on your legal standing, and guide you through the process of contesting a will or resolving any disputes.
We are able to brief expert specialist Barristers to advise, settle Memoranda of Advice and, if appropriate, settle Affidavits and Statements of Claim in order to issue legal proceedings on your behalf pursuant to your instructions.
