Contesting Wills

Contesting Wills or disputing wills you require experienced lawyers. Mullane & Lindsay Solicitors has a skilled team of Newcastle lawyers with experience in claims of this kind: not only on behalf of claimants, but also on behalf of executors who have become ‘caught up’ in a dispute, and for beneficiaries who wish to fight a claim.

In relation to contesting wills in NSW, a will of a deceased person can be challenged by an individual - usually, but not always, a close family member - who thinks the will did not adequately provide for them.

Time limits apply to claims of this kind, and issues can frequently arise as to what property may be affected by a claim, or who is eligible to contest a will.
