All About Family
Provision Claims
In QLD
A family provision claim in QLD is
available for eligible people such as;
• The deceased’s spouse
• Children
• Dependents
The eligible party must present the
executor with a written notice within six
months of the date of the death, and as a
family member, a family provision
application. The notice must contain all
details required by law.
Challenging Wills
Challenging the validity of a will happens
if you believe the will is fraudulent, undue
in몭uence was impressed upon the
willmaker, or the deceased lacked the
mental capacity to create the will. The
court can reinstate your original
entitlement from an earlier will if you
prove that the last will is invalid. The
eligible party must then 몭le a family
provision application.
Factors
Considered In
The Family
Provision Claim
In QLD
If you are eligible to make a family
provision claim in QLD, the court will
consider several factors in determining
your case, including;
• Obligations or responsibilities owed
by the deceased to the applicant
• The value and location of the
deceased’s property
• The 몭nancial circumstances of the
applicant
• Any physical, intellectual or mental
disabilities
• The deceased’s wishes
• The applicant’s age
• Any contribution by the applicant
which increased the value of the
estate
• The applicant’s character and the
relationship with the deceased
• The applicant’s needs
Being an eligible person does not mean
you are automatically entitled to a share
of the estate. You must prove to the
court that you meet other requirements
allowing for a more signi몭cant provision.
