How to Contest a Will in WA and When You Should Act
In Western Australia, contesting a will usually falls under the Family Provision Act 1972 (WA). This allows eligible people such as spouses, children, stepchildren and some dependents to claim further provision if they believe the will fails to provide adequate support. You can also challenge a will in WA based on legal issues like lack of capacity, undue influence, fraud or improper execution. If successful, the court may overturn the will, uphold a previous one or vary the estate distribution.
Timing is critical. Most Family Provision claims must be lodged within six months of granting probate. At Eastwood Law, we assess your eligibility quickly and give you honest, strategic advice. Whether you’re contesting unfair treatment or questioning the will’s validity, our team of will dispute lawyers in Perth will help protect your rights and preserve your peace of mind.
