Each and every case in which someone decides to dispute a will is unique. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact cost involved in contesting a will without first investigating the facts of the matter. The Will Challenge Lawyers’ no-win, no-fee offer, however, means that the average cost for the applicant to contest a will is $0. Our fees are taken normally from the estate.
Cost of Disputing a Will
In New South Wales, the total cost of disputing a will is usually between $5,000 and $10,000 if the matter stays out of court. On those occasions where matters do end up in court, the costs can be much higher. Lawyers’ fees vary and can be anywhere from $300 to $800 per hour. The variables involved are numerous and that is what makes one case distinct from another.
