Who is Entitled to Seek Will Dispute Lawyers in Melbourne?
There are several applicants eligible to seek the help of our will dispute lawyers in Melbourne. These people include:
- The deceased’s spouse or de facto partner;
- The deceased person’s child (including an adoptive child);
- The deceased person’s ex-wife;
- A grandchild who was financially reliant on the deceased;

The law also states that it is not necessary for the people living together to be family members or anyone related by blood.
