How we help
Will & estate disputes we handle
From contesting a will to defending an estate — we act on both sides, statewide.
Contesting a Will
Challenging a will’s validity — or seeking further provision — on grounds like capacity, undue influence or improper execution.
Family Provision Claims
Left out of a will or not adequately provided for? Eligible spouses, children and dependants can claim a fair share of the estate.
Estate Litigation
Executor misconduct, informal wills, revoking grants of probate and complex estate conflicts — for executors and beneficiaries alike.
Estate Administration
Probate, letters of administration, intestacy and asset distribution — we guide executors and families through every step.
Ready to help you now
Facing a contested will can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about your rights. At ROC Legal, our experienced will dispute lawyers understand the emotional toll these situations take on families. We’re here to guide you through every step of the legal process with compassion and expertise.
Thousands of Australians are left out of a will in circumstances where they shouldn’t have been. If this sounds like you, book a free consultation to find out where you stand.
Strict time limits apply
When you’re questioning the validity of a loved one’s will, or believe you’ve been unfairly treated in the distribution of an estate, time is critical. Queensland’s Succession Act 1981 provides specific grounds for challenging a will, but navigating these complex legal waters requires specialised knowledge and strategic thinking.
Whether you’re concerned about the deceased’s mental capacity, suspect undue influence or coercion, or need help interpreting confusing will terms, our dedicated team has the deep understanding of Queensland law needed to protect your interests.
Six months — then nine
You generally must give written notice to the executor within six months of the death, and file a family provision application within nine months. Courts extend time only in limited circumstances — if you’re considering a challenge, act now.
