Frequently asked questions
Does Turner Freeman ‘no win, no fee policy apply to wills & estates services?
No. Our no win, no fee policy is exclusively offered to personal injury claims.
Does a will need to be signed by a lawyer in New South Wales?
In NSW, a will does not need to be signed by a lawyer to be valid. However, it must meet strict legal requirements, including being in writing and signed by you in the presence of two independent witnesses. If a will is not prepared or reviewed by a lawyer, there is a higher risk of errors or disputes that could make it invalid or lead to costly legal challenges.
Who can challenge a will in New South Wales?
In NSW, certain eligible people can challenge a will by making a family provision claim. This may include a spouse, defacto partner, child, or other dependants who believe they have not been adequately provided for. Without legal advice, you may risk missing eligibility requirements or strict time limits for making a claim.
How long do i have to contest a will?
In NSW, you generally have 12 months from the date of death to contest a will by making a family provision claim. In limited cases, the Court may allow a late claim, but this is rare. Seeking legal advice early can help you understand your rights and avoid missing critical deadlines.
