Your fight for fair inheritance.
When someone who was important to you dies, their Will sometimes doesn’t reflect the reality of your relationship, your contributions to their life, or your ongoing financial needs, leaving you with inadequate provision while others receive substantial inheritances.
We will challenge the Will using family provision laws, dependency claims, or validity arguments to secure the larger inheritance share you deserve based on your relationship, needs, and the deceased’s moral obligations to provide for you. So that you can receive fair recognition and financial provision that reflects your actual relationship with the deceased, your contributions to their welfare, and your legitimate needs for ongoing support and security.
Family relationships are complex, and wills written years ago may not reflect current realities, changed circumstances, or the full extent of family members’ contributions and needs.
The law recognises that people have moral obligations to provide for family members, and these obligations shouldn’t be completely overridden by outdated or unfair will provisions.
You’re a family member who had a genuine relationship with the deceased, may have provided care or support during their lifetime, and has legitimate financial needs that the will doesn’t adequately address. You’re facing financial hardship or uncertainty because someone who had moral obligations to provide for you has left inadequate provision, often favouring others who may have had less involvement in their life or fewer ongoing needs.
It’s fundamentally unfair when people who contributed to someone’s welfare, provided care during illness, or have genuine ongoing needs are left with token amounts while distant relatives or new relationships receive substantial inheritances.
When Wills don’t reflect reality.
Wills are often written years before death and may not reflect changed family circumstances, evolving relationships, or current financial needs of family members.
Common scenarios where challenges succeed:
- Caring daughter receives nothing – Adult daughter who provided years of care for elderly parent while working siblings received everything
- Second wife gets everything – Man remarries late in life, leaves everything to new wife, leaving adult children from 40-year first marriage with nothing
- Family business exclusion – One son worked in family business for 20 years but father’s will leaves business entirely to brother who had no involvement
- De facto partner ignored – Woman in 15-year relationship receives nothing because they never married, despite shared home and financial interdependence
- Dependent adult child excluded – Parent leaves estate to independent children while excluding disabled child who needs ongoing financial support

Our experienced estate lawyers.
We understand how it feels to be overlooked or undervalued in someone’s will when you had a genuine relationship with them, provided care or support, or have legitimate ongoing needs that aren’t being met.
Like you, we’re frustrated by legal systems that sometimes allow outdated or unfair wills to stand when they don’t reflect the reality of family relationships, contributions, or current needs.
We know that challenging a loved one’s will feels uncomfortable, but you have legal rights that exist specifically to ensure fair treatment of family members with legitimate claims.
We care about ensuring families receive fair treatment and adequate provision, especially when they’ve made sacrifices or have ongoing needs that the will doesn’t adequately address.
We fight for families who deserve fair inheritance because the law recognises moral obligations don’t end at death.
