SPECIALIST WILLS AND PROBATE LAWYERS
Contest, Defend, Dispute or Challenge a Will
If you are left out of a will or if you are left with an insufficient amount in a will or inheritance, we can make a claim for you in any mainland State of Australia. We can also commence a claim if the deceased did not leave a Will.
WILL DISPUTES?
What is Contesting a Will all about?
The expression refers to situations where you are claiming that a Will is “unfair”, because the person who had died (e.g., one of your parents, partner etc) had an obligation to leave proper provision for you (i.e.. something that is appropriate and sufficient), but in fact did not leave anything, or not enough, to you.
CWPL successfully settles about 95% of its claims at or after a mediation, saving legal fees for you, which saves you from having to go to court where a judge will make the final decision in your claim
We can act for you in a Will Dispute in any State of Australia, or any Territory. We can act for you, wherever you live.
CWPL was founded by Terry Johansson who first started to practise law over 30 years ago. Our team of experienced lawyers and paralegals can draw on their wealth of experience in tax, trusts, commercial and property work to achieve the best possible result for you. Our aim is to get the best results for you, so we tailor our work to suit your situation and circumstances.
How does CWPL's no success no fee plan work?
This is a personal message from Terry Johansson to YOU.
So many people say to me, “I am a little nervous. I keep asking myself: should I bring my claim.”
Sadly, a number never even get started because of a few nerves.
Everyone has their worries, but they can be dealt with and then you can move ahead!
Who can claim?
Most husbands and wives, partners and children, step children and people who were considered as part of the deceased household can claim.
See are the average amounts that are awarded to people who make a successful claim?
