There are a number of ways to challenge or contest a Will but the most common way is through a Family Provision Application. Not everyone is eligible to make a Family Provision Application and there are strict time frames that apply. Make sure you know your rights, requirements and time frames if you are considering challenging or contesting a Will.
If your matter is in Court then you may be required to attend a Family Report interview so that a Family Report can be done for the Court. This report provides information about you, your children and the other parent and extended family in some instances. The Court then uses the information and any recommendations the report writer may make to assist in identifying what is in the children’s best interests.
