The time it takes to contest a will varies depending on whether the case goes to court. An experienced solicitor may be able to negotiate a settlement with the executor, potentially resolving the matter within weeks.

If negotiations fail, the next step is to file the necessary documents to initiate court proceedings. This stage can take up to six months before mediation is scheduled.

If mediation does not result in an agreement, a Family Provision Claim could take an additional 12-18 months to be resolved in court.
