Contesting a Will in South Australia

Why Contest a Will?

There are several reasons someone may consider contesting a Will or challenging the distribution of a deceased estate in South Australia, including:

  • The Will does not appear to reflect the deceased person’s genuine wishes.
  • There are concerns the deceased lacked the mental capacity to understand the Will when it was made.
  • The deceased may have been pressured, manipulated or subjected to undue influence.
  • The Will may not have been properly signed or witnessed.
  • There are concerns about fraud, forgery or suspicious circumstances.
  • An eligible family member or dependant has been left out of the Will or has not received adequate provision from the estate.
  • There is a dispute between beneficiaries, executors or family members about the estate.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to challenge the validity of a Will or pursue a family provision claim under South Australian succession laws.
