Family Provision Claims Melbourne
Were You Left Out of a Will? We Can Help.
If you’ve been left out of a will or believe you’ve received less than your fair share, you may be able to make a family provision claim. These claims allow eligible people to challenge a will and seek a greater share of the estate.
At Scherini Lawyers, we assist clients across Melbourne with both making and defending family provision claims. We understand the legal requirements and the emotional complexity that often surrounds these matters.
Who Can Make a Claim?
You may be eligible to make a claim if you are:
A spouse or former spouse of the deceased
A child or stepchild
A person who was financially dependent on the deceased
A member of the household or someone in a close personal relationship
What the Court Considers
When deciding on a family provision claim, the court will consider:
- Your relationship with the deceased
- The size and nature of the estate
- Your financial position and needs
- The needs of other beneficiaries
How We Help
We provide honest advice on whether your claim is likely to succeed, and guide you through mediation or court proceedings if necessary. Our goal is to resolve matters fairly, quickly, and without unnecessary conflict.
Call or email us to discuss your situation confidentially.
