Many clients come to us feeling:
- Blindsided or unfairly treated

Do You Have a Claim?
Under NSW law, you may be eligible to contest a will if you are (or were):
• A spouse or de facto partner
• A child or stepchild
• A former spouse
• Someone financially dependent on the deceased
• Someone who was promised something they relied on
• A member of the deceased’s household
• Someone who had a close personal relationship with the deceased
If you’re not sure — we can tell you quickly.
