Understanding Will Contests in Queensland
In Queensland, the Succession Act 1981 governs the processes related to wills and estates. Common grounds for contesting a will include:
- Lack of Testamentary Capacity: Questioning whether the deceased had the mental capacity to make a valid will.
- Undue Influence: Allegations that the deceased was coerced or manipulated into making certain provisions.
- Improper Execution: Claims that the will was not executed in accordance with legal requirements.
- Inadequate Provision: Situations where eligible individuals believe they were not adequately provided for in the will.
It’s crucial to act promptly, as there are strict time limits for contesting wills in Queensland. Typically, you must notify the executor within 6 months of the date of death and file your application within 9 months.
