Who can challenge my will?

• Under the law you are free to dispose of your property to whoever you want under your will.
• However an eligible person can challenge your will if you have failed to make adequate provision for their proper maintenance, education or advancement in life.
• An eligible person is a person who is:
  • your wife or husband at the time of your death;
  • your de facto partner at the time of your death;
  • your child including a step-child or adopted child;
  • your former wife or husband if they have remained dependant on you; or
  • any other person who was wholly or partly dependant on you.
• See our Family Provision Law Overview Guide for more information.
