Wills Disputes

Disputes over a Will can arise when family members or beneficiaries believe that the deceased’s intentions have not been properly reflected, or that the distribution of the estate is unfair. These situations are often sensitive and emotionally challenging, particularly when they involve close family relationships.

At Hassall’s Litigation Services, our Victoria-based Will dispute lawyers provide clear, practical advice to help you understand your rights and options. We work with clients across Victoria to resolve estate disputes as efficiently and respectfully as possible.

Common Will Disputes

We assist clients with a range of estate and probate disputes, including:

  • Contesting a Will where there are concerns about validity
  • Family provision claims where an eligible person has not been adequately provided for
  • Undue influence affecting the terms of the Will
  • Lack of testamentary capacity at the time the Will was made.

How We Can Help

Our approach is focused on resolving disputes early whilst protecting your interests.

We provide compassionate, straightforward legal advice and guide you through what can be a complex and personal process. Wherever possible, we aim to resolve matters through negotiation or mediation, helping to minimise stress, delays and legal costs.

If Court proceedings are required, our experienced litigation team will represent you with confidence in all Victorian courts.

We regularly advise:

  • Executors managing their duties and obligations
  • Beneficiaries seeking clarity or fairness
  • Eligible persons considering a family provision claim
