Claims against deceased estates by potential beneficiary

Make an online enquiry

Left out of a relative's will?

Queensland law allows family or dependants who suffer hardship because they have been overlooked or inadequately provided for in a will to bring a lawsuit for compensation.

Time limits apply. Written notice must be given within 6 months and legal action commenced within 9 months of the date of death.

To get started, collect relevant information as best you can including a list of estate assets, a list of surviving dependants and particulars of your relationship with the deceased.
