You may contest a will if you believe that it does not reflect the true intentions of the deceased or if you believe that it is not legally valid.
To contest a will, you will need to initiate legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of Victoria.
It is recommended that you seek legal advice from a law firm experienced in will disputes to understand your legal rights and options. Your lawyer can also assess the evidence available and help you build a strong case to support your claim.
It is important to note that there are strict time limits for contesting a will, so it is essential to act quickly if you believe you have grounds for a challenge.
Ultimately, contesting a will can be a complex and emotionally challenging process, but with the right legal support, you can protect your interests and ensure that the deceased’s wishes are respected.
