Contesting a will is a difficult choice, and often occurs at a very stressful time. There could be a number of reasons why a will may be in dispute, such as:

• you (or a loved one) were left out of the will;
• you were unfairly or inadequately provided for;
• the administrators/executors of the will were negligent;
• the will was invalid; or
• no will was made.
