Contesting or challenging a Will

The experienced team at Robert Wood & Associates are specialist Will dispute lawyers and can provide expert assistance in relation to contesting, challenging or disputing a Will – you may be asking what’s the difference?

Contesting a Will – where there is no dispute regarding the validity of the will itself but instead, one or more of the family members have not been provided for or believe he or she has not been properly provided for by the deceased.

Challenging a Will – this involves challenging the validity of the will itself. You say the will is not valid and should not be approved by the court for a Grant of Probate.

Disputing a Will – this is a general term for any other dispute. There could be uncertainty about the terms of the will in this case the court is asked to work out what the deceased really meant in his or her will.
