Perhaps you suspect that a will was not made by the deceased. Or, perhaps it seems like it was altered suspiciously while he or she was incapacitated. Maybe you think there was undue influence on the will-maker from someone else who stands to benefit. These are examples of scenarios where you may want to contest a will.

Contesting a will is time sensitive. Under the Succession Act 2006, you must make an application within 12 months of the individual’s death. Note this used to be 18 months, but has been changed. On behalf of you as the applicant, we can ask the Court if this period can be extended, if circumstances warrant.

Here is a list of who is eligible to contest a will:

• Wife or husband (at time of death) of the deceased
• A “de facto” partner, with whom the deceased was living (includes same-sex partners); a de facto relationship is two unmarried people living together as part of a couple, who are not related by family.
• The child of the deceased
• The deceased’s former wife or husband
• A grandchild who was dependent on the deceased person, fully or partially
• A person living in a “close personal relationship” with the deceased, at the time of the deceased person’s death

The Succession Act defines this as a relationship between two adults living together that’s not a marriage or a de facto relationship. They may or may not be related by family. Each provides the other with free care and/or domestic support. This does not include care provided for a fee, for a reward or on behalf of a third person or organisation.
