Hentys Lawyers Are Victoria’s Experts in Challenging a Will

Unless there are legitimate reasons, Victorian courts are unlikely to change a valid Will. Challenging a Will in Victoria is therefore only possible under certain circumstances.

With many years experience in the sector, the lawyers at Hentys have handled several will dispute cases and are best placed to assist you in challenging a Will. If you are considering challenging a Will the following information may be of use to you.

CONSIDERING CHALLENGING A WILL?

In Victoria there are strict time restrictions for challenging a will. If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, it’s important to act quickly as Estate funds can sometimes be sold, transferred or spent and you may end up having no assets or funds to claim upon.

If you believe you have been inadequately provided for in a will, your first step is to contact the team at Hentys Lawyers today. During your free initial consultation, we will talk you through the entire process and if you choose to engage with our Melbourne based team, we will ensure that you are feeling comfortable and informed from beginning to end of your case.

First, we will determine whether you are eligible to make a claim, and ensure that the application is made within the imposed time limits. We will also help determine whether the basic conditions have been met to proceed with your case. Once we have determined this, we can then launch proceedings.

It’s been a long road and it will be great to have closure on this matter after 4+ years.

I would like to thank you and the team at Hentys for their hard work, professionalism, dedication and endeavour. Without your support in this matter we would never have been able to reach this positive outcome. And mum would never have seen a red cent from her mum’s estate.

The family is very grateful to all involved – David Fodor
