When questions arise about a Will's validity

A Will may not reflect a person’s true wishes if it was made under suspicious circumstances. At MMLaw, we help families understand whether a Will is legally valid and what options are available if it’s not.

Only certain people, such as beneficiaries named in the Will, beneficiaries from a previous Will, or those with a direct interest in the Estate, may have the right to challenge. We’ll advise if you are eligible.

Not everyone has standing to challenge.

What are the grounds for challenging?

Grounds for challenging a Will can include:

The deceased did not have testamentary capacity when making the Will

The Will was made under undue influence, pressure or fraud

The document was not executed in line with legal requirements

Family Provision Applications

If you’ve been left out of a Will or not adequately provided for, you may be able to contest it through a family provision application. MMLaw will help you understand your rights and seek a fair outcome.

When a Will doesn't make fair provision.

Sometimes, a Will may be valid but fail to provide adequate support for family members. Contesting a Will allows eligible people to ask the Court for a fairer share.

The Court considers whether proper provision has been made, looking at your financial need, your relationship with the deceased, and any contributions you made to their Estate.
