How we can help you

Contesting a Will can feel daunting, especially when family dynamics and financial pressures are involved. If you’ve been unfairly left out, inadequately provided for, or suspect the Will isn’t valid, we’ll help you take clear, confident steps to make a claim.

You may well also be on the receiving end of a contest with someone looking to challenge a Will you are a beneficiary of. If you’re an Executor or beneficiary needing to defend a Will, we can assist with that too. Visit our Defending a Will page to learn how we can support you.

Here’s what we help with:

  • Identify if you’re eligible to contest under the Family Provision Act 1972 (WA)
  • Assess your claim and explain your legal rights
  • Challenge unfair Wills or inadequate provisions
  • Defend a challenge or claim if you are under attack
  • Investigate issues such as undue influence or lack of capacity
  • Negotiate with other beneficiaries or executors
  • Represent you through court proceedings if needed
  • Explore early resolution through mediation where appropriate
