Overview

In Queensland a claim for a larger share of a deceased estate is called a family provision application. It is made under Part 4 of the Succession Act 1981 (Qld). Section 41 provides that where a person dies and adequate provision is not made from the estate for the proper maintenance and support of the deceased person's spouse, child or dependant, the Court may, in its discretion, order that provision be made out of the estate. The class of applicants is narrower than in some other states, such as New South Wales: only spouses (including some divorced spouses who were receiving maintenance), children and a limited group of dependants can apply.

Queensland's timetable is unusual and catches people out. There are effectively two dates rather than one. First, written notice of an intended claim, signed by you or your solicitor, should be given to the personal representative as early as possible and in practice before six months from the date of death, because section 44(3) protects a personal representative who properly distributes after that point without having received notice. Second, the proceeding itself must be started within nine months of the death, unless the Court otherwise directs, under section 41(8). Missing the notice date can leave you with a claim but no assets to claim against; missing the nine month date means you must ask the Court to let your application go ahead late.

A family provision application is different from a challenge to the validity of the will. Validity disputes, on grounds such as lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval or undue influence, are probate proceedings in the Supreme Court, and the usual first step is a caveat under Chapter 15 of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (Qld) to stop a grant issuing. Family provision applications can be filed in the Supreme Court of Queensland, which has case managed them more closely since its wills and estates practice direction was amended in June 2024, or in the District Court, which can hear them but cannot order provision worth more than $750,000. This page is general information about Queensland law and procedure, not legal advice.

Who this is for

  • You are the husband, wife, de facto partner of at least two years or registered civil partner of a person whose estate is being dealt with in Queensland
  • You were divorced from the deceased, had not remarried and were receiving, or entitled to receive, maintenance from them
  • You are a child, stepchild or adopted child who received nothing or very little under the will
  • The deceased was wholly or substantially supporting you and you are their parent, the parent of their child under 18, or under 18 yourself
  • You have just realised that more than six months have passed since the death
  • You are an executor deciding whether it is safe to distribute the estate
  • You have received a notice of intended family provision application from a claimant's solicitor
  • You think the will that has been put forward is not the deceased person's last valid will
LegislationShow
  • Succession Act 1981 (Qld) (QLD)

    The principal Act. Part 4 contains the family provision scheme. Section 5AA defines spouse; for Part 4 it covers a husband or wife, a de facto partner of at least two years, a civil partner and a dependent former husband, wife or civil partner. Section 40 defines child (which includes a stepchild and an adopted child) and dependant (a parent of the deceased, a parent of a surviving child under 18 of the deceased, or a person under 18, who was being wholly or substantially maintained or supported by the deceased at the time of death). Section 40A deals with the meaning of stepchild. Section 41 gives the Court power to order provision and, in section 41(8), limits when an application may be brought. Section 44 protects a personal representative who distributes in accordance with its requirements. The Trusts Act 2025 amended some estate administration provisions in Part 5 (reprint current from 28 May 2026) but did not change Part 4.

  • Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (Qld) (QLD)

    Chapter 15 governs probate and administration, including the notice of intention to apply for a grant (rules 598 and 599), caveats against grants (rules 623 to 628) and contested probate proceedings. Chapter 17A deals with costs, including rule 681 (costs generally follow the event), rule 700 (costs of a personal representative) and rule 700A, which lists matters the Court may take into account on costs in a family provision proceeding. The general rules on originating applications, evidence and disclosure also apply to family provision applications.

  • Public Trustee Act 1978 (Qld) (QLD)

    Provides for the Public Trustee of Queensland (which now operates as Queensland Public Trustee), which can act as executor or administrator, hold wills deposited with it (section 63), apply for an order to administer an estate (section 29) and be appointed in place of an existing personal representative (section 31).

  • Civil Proceedings Act 2011 (Qld) (QLD)

    Contains general provisions about civil proceedings in Queensland courts, including the power to award costs (section 15), the Court's power to refer a dispute to mediation or another ADR process (section 43), the duty to attend an ADR process the Court orders (section 44) and the rule that what is said at mediation can be used as evidence only if all parties agree (section 53).

  • District Court of Queensland Act 1967 (Qld) (QLD)

    Section 68(1)(b)(x) gives the District Court jurisdiction in family provision applications under sections 40 to 43 of the Succession Act, but any provision it orders must not exceed the monetary limit of $750,000 (section 68(2)). Section 118 deals with appeals from the District Court to the Court of Appeal.

  • Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) (CTH)

    Commonwealth law regulating superannuation, including who a fund can pay a death benefit to. A death benefit the fund trustee pays directly to a dependant or nominee does not form part of the estate, so it cannot be the subject of a Queensland family provision order; a benefit paid to the estate's legal personal representative becomes an estate asset.

Courts and tribunalsShow
  • Supreme Court of Queensland

    Hears family provision applications and contested probate proceedings, and makes grants of probate and letters of administration. Supreme Court registries are in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Rockhampton, with additional regional registries.

  • District Court of Queensland

    Can also hear family provision applications, but any provision it orders cannot exceed $750,000 (District Court of Queensland Act 1967 s 68). From 1 July 2026 its fee for an individual filing an originating application is $1,058.00, compared with $1,176.00 in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court practice direction described on this page applies only to applications filed in the Supreme Court.

  • Supreme Court Practice Direction 14 of 2023 - Wills and Estates List (and family provision applications)

    Issued 14 June 2023 and amended 14 June 2024. It creates the Wills and Estates List for the Brisbane registry, and paragraphs 31 to 42 set requirements for family provision applications filed in any Supreme Court registry, including a first directions hearing no later than 28 days after filing, referral to mediation where appropriate, and possible caps on recoverable costs.

  • Supreme Court of Queensland - practice directions

    The full set of Supreme Court practice directions, including Practice Direction 18 of 2018 (efficient conduct of civil litigation) and Practice Direction 9 of 2023 (caseflow management), both amended on 14 June 2024. Practice Direction 9 applies to proceedings started by claim in Brisbane, and to other proceedings only if the Court orders it.

  • Queensland Public Trustee

    Offers a free will-making service and general information on wills and estates, and acts as executor and administrator, including where there is no willing or capable executor.

  • Queensland Court of Appeal

    Hears appeals from Supreme Court and District Court decisions, including in family provision and probate matters. Some appeals from the District Court need the Court of Appeal's leave (District Court of Queensland Act 1967 s 118).

ProcessShow

  1. 01Confirm eligibility and the two key dates

    Check whether you are a spouse (section 5AA), a child (including a stepchild or adopted child) or a dependant within the meaning of section 40, and work out when six months and nine months from the date of death fall.

    Typical timeframe: Straight away

  2. 02Give written notice to the personal representative

    Send written notice of your intended application, signed by you or your solicitor (section 44(4)), to the executor or administrator, ideally well before six months from the death. After six months, an executor who has had no notice is protected if they properly distribute the estate.

    Typical timeframe: As soon as possible, and before six months from the death

  3. 03Gather information and negotiate

    Ask for the will, the grant and a statement of the estate's assets and liabilities, and prepare your own financial material. Claims can settle by negotiation before proceedings are filed.

    Typical timeframe: Before the nine month deadline

  4. 04File the originating application

    File an originating application in the Supreme Court, or in the District Court if the provision sought is within its $750,000 limit, within nine months of the death. In the Supreme Court you must file with it your affidavit identifying the provision you seek and, if you have a solicitor, a solicitor's affidavit estimating your costs up to the end of mediation. Serve the application, your affidavits and a list of other people known to you who may be eligible to apply or who are beneficiaries on the personal representative at least 14 days before the first directions hearing.

    Typical timeframe: Within nine months of the death

  5. 05First directions hearing

    Under paragraph 32 of Practice Direction 14 of 2023 (amended 2024), a Supreme Court family provision application is listed for a directions hearing no later than 28 days after filing. If all parties agree directions, they can email a signed draft consent order by 4.00 pm on the day before and ask for the hearing to be de-listed; otherwise each party must email its proposed directions to the others by 4.00 pm on the day before.

    Typical timeframe: No later than 28 days after filing

  6. 06Mediation

    If appropriate, the Court refers the application to mediation at the earliest practical time. If the Court orders mediation, the parties must attend (Civil Proceedings Act 2011 s 44).

    Typical timeframe: By the date the Court sets in its directions

  7. 07Further directions and trial

    If the matter is not referred to mediation or does not settle there, the parties ask for it to be placed on the Wills and Estates List (Brisbane) for review, or list it in the appropriate Applications List for further directions about a trial plan, agreed facts, a chronology and a list of issues, before trial dates are allocated.

    Typical timeframe: Set by the Court

Parties

  • Applicant

    The spouse, child or dependant applying for a family provision order out of the Queensland estate.

  • Respondent personal representative

    The executor or administrator, who is the respondent to the application. Under the sample directions in the Supreme Court practice direction, they file an affidavit with the grant, the will and an estimate of the estate's assets, liabilities and value.

  • Other eligible person

    Someone else who could apply for provision. In the Supreme Court the applicant must list them when serving the application, and the sample directions provide for them to be given notice of the claim and a date by which to apply to be joined. If they do not apply, the Court may deal with the case without considering them.

  • Affected beneficiary

    A beneficiary whose entitlement would be reduced by an order. Under the Supreme Court's sample directions they are given notice of the claim and may apply to be joined as a respondent if they want to be separately represented.

  • Caveator

    A person claiming an interest in the estate who files a caveat under rule 624 of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 to stop a grant being made while a dispute about the will is resolved.

  • Litigation guardian

    Acts for an applicant or beneficiary who is a child or a person with impaired capacity. Section 41(7) also lets the personal representative, the public trustee or the chief executive responsible for child protection apply for a person under a legal incapacity.

  • Mediator

    The mediator named in the Court's directions. The sample directions in Practice Direction 14 of 2023 provide for the mediator's fee to be paid from the estate in the first instance, with the final position reserved to the trial judge.

Costs and helpShow

Costs in Queensland family provision applications are in the Court's discretion. The general rule is that costs follow the event (UCPR r 681), but in a family provision case the Court can also consider the value of the estate and of the property in dispute, whether costs were increased by not following the rules or practice directions, by pursuing weak issues or by failing to make sensible concessions, and any settlement offers (r 700A). Unless the Court orders otherwise, a personal representative's costs not paid by someone else come out of the estate (r 700). The Supreme Court may cap the costs a party can recover, including where the net estate is under $500,000 (Practice Direction 14 of 2023, para 42). Supreme Court fees from 1 July 2026: filing an originating application costs $1,176.00 for an individual, or a reduced fee of $154.70 if the registrar approves it for a concession card holder, a legally aided person or someone in financial hardship (if the reduced filing fee is approved, setting down and hearing fees are not payable); setting down for trial costs $1,909.00, and daily hearing fees apply after the first day. The District Court fee for filing an originating application from 1 July 2026 is $1,058.00 for an individual. Because both sides' costs often come out of the same estate, the practical value of a claim is the provision ordered less those costs.

Legal Aid Queensland

Legal Aid Queensland says it does not give legal help with wills or deceased estates and that you should see a private lawyer if you want to challenge a will. Its wills page mentions the Civil Law Legal Aid Scheme, but the scheme's own page lists wills, estates and family provision among the claims it does not fund.

Where to get help

Practical guidanceShow

Who can make a family provision application in Queensland?

Section 41 of the Succession Act 1981 confines applications to the deceased person's spouse, child or dependant. Under section 5AA, spouse means a husband or wife, a de facto partner who had lived with the deceased as a couple for a continuous period of at least two years ending on the death, or a registered civil partner. For family provision it also includes a divorced husband or wife, or former civil partner, who had not remarried or entered a new civil partnership and was receiving, or entitled to receive, maintenance from the deceased at the time of death. Child is defined in section 40 to mean any child, stepchild or adopted child of the deceased, and section 40A explains when a stepchild relationship ends. Dependant means a person who was being wholly or substantially maintained or supported by the deceased at the time of death, otherwise than for full valuable consideration, and who was a parent of the deceased, the parent of a surviving child under 18 of the deceased, or under 18 themselves. Queensland does not have the household member or close personal relationship categories found in New South Wales, so friends, carers and other relatives generally cannot apply, however deserving their case might seem.

Why is the six month notice so important?

Section 44(3) protects a personal representative who distributes the estate at the right time. A personal representative is protected for a proper distribution made not earlier than six months after the death if they have had no notice of an application or intended application. If they have received notice, they are protected only for a distribution made not earlier than nine months after the death, and not once they have been told in writing that the application has been commenced or have been served with a copy of it. The notice must be in writing and signed by you or your solicitor (section 44(4)). The practical consequence is that if you give no notice, the executor may lawfully pay the estate out after six months and there may be little or nothing left to satisfy an order in your favour, even if you file within nine months. Written notice does not commit you to going to court. Sending it early, keeping proof that it was received and following it up all help protect the position.

How does the Supreme Court manage family provision applications now?

Practice Direction 14 of 2023 was amended on 14 June 2024. It creates a Wills and Estates List for the Brisbane registry, but its family provision paragraphs (31 to 42) apply to family provision applications filed in any Supreme Court registry. When you file, you must also file an affidavit identifying the provision you seek and, if you have a solicitor, a solicitor's affidavit estimating your costs up to the end of mediation. The application is listed for a first directions hearing no later than 28 days after filing, and you must serve your documents, including a list of other people who may be eligible to apply or who are beneficiaries, at least 14 days before it. If everyone agrees directions, a signed draft consent order can be emailed by 4.00 pm on the day before and the hearing de-listed; otherwise each party emails its proposed directions to the others by then. If appropriate, the matter is referred to mediation at the earliest practical time. Unless the Court orders otherwise, parties may agree to simpler evidence, such as a real estate agent's kerbside appraisal of property, and the Court may cap recoverable costs, including where the net estate is under $500,000. These paragraphs do not apply to applications filed in the District Court.

What does the Court take into account in deciding a Queensland claim?

Section 41 asks whether adequate provision has been made from the estate for your proper maintenance and support and, if not, what provision the Court in its discretion should order. Being left out, or receiving less than others, is not enough on its own: the question is whether the provision made for you is adequate in all the circumstances. Matters the Court looks at include the net value of the estate after debts and expenses, your financial position, your age and health, any means you have from gifts the deceased made during life or from other sources, how close your relationship with the deceased was, and any contribution you made to building up the estate. The Court can refuse an order if your character or conduct disentitles you to it (section 41(2)(c)), and for a dependant it must be satisfied that it is proper to make some provision (section 41(1A)). The Court can order a lump sum or periodic payments and attach conditions (section 41(2)). In a small estate, the amount available limits what can be ordered even where need is clear.

How do you challenge the validity of a Queensland will?

Start by finding out whether an application for a grant has been made. Under rules 598 and 599 of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999, a person applying for a grant must publish a notice of intention at least 14 days before filing and give a copy to the Public Trustee at least 7 days before filing, which gives interested people a chance to act. If you believe the will is invalid, the usual step is to file a caveat under rule 624 so that a grant cannot be made while the dispute is resolved. A caveat lasts six months unless renewed, and once the registrar notifies you of an application you must file a notice supporting the caveat within the time in that notice (rule 625). Then gather the evidence: the will-maker's solicitor's file and instruction notes, the deceased's medical records, and statements from the attesting witnesses. If a grant has already been made, you would need to apply to the Court to revoke it. A caveat is about whether a grant should be made at all. The Court can set aside a caveat if the evidence does not show an interest in the estate (or a reasonable prospect of establishing one) or raise doubt about whether the grant ought to be made (rule 626), so it is usually not the right step if your only complaint is that the will did not provide adequately for you.

What should a Queensland executor do when notice of a claim arrives?

It is generally prudent to pause before distributing anything. Once you have received written notice of an intended family provision application, section 44(3) only protects a proper distribution made not earlier than nine months after the death, and not at all once you have been told in writing that the application has been commenced or have been served with it. Outside that protection you could be personally exposed if an order is later made. Section 44(1) separately protects a proper distribution made to provide for the maintenance or support of the deceased's spouse or any child totally or partially dependent on the deceased immediately before the death, whether or not you had notice. Acknowledge the notice, ask for details of the claim, and tell the beneficiaries that a claim has been foreshadowed. Prepare an accurate statement of the estate's assets, liabilities and expenses, with valuations for real property and business interests: in the Supreme Court the sample directions ask the personal representative to file an affidavit estimating the estate's assets, liabilities and value at the date of death and at the date of the affidavit. Speak to a lawyer about whether a partial distribution or keeping back a fund is appropriate, keep detailed records of your costs, and be ready to justify them as reasonable.

  • Your written notice of intended family provision application and proof that it was received
  • Statement of the estate's assets, liabilities and testamentary expenses
  • Valuations of real property, business interests and significant chattels

Common questions

How long do I have to contest a will in Queensland?

There are two dates. Written notice of your intended claim, signed by you or your solicitor, should reach the personal representative before six months from the death, because after that an executor who has received no notice may distribute with the protection of section 44(3). The application itself must be started within nine months of the death under section 41(8), unless the Court otherwise directs. Missing the notice date can leave you with little or nothing to claim against; missing the nine month date means you must ask the Court to let a late application proceed.

Can a stepchild contest a will in Queensland?

Yes. Section 40 defines child, for the purposes of Part 4, to include a stepchild and an adopted child, and section 40A sets out what a stepchild is and how the stepchild relationship can come to an end. That makes Queensland more generous to stepchildren than some other jurisdictions, such as New South Wales, where a stepchild must show dependency. Whether the relationship still existed at the relevant time can be a real issue, particularly where the marriage, civil partnership or de facto relationship that created it had ended before the death.

Can a friend or carer make a family provision application in Queensland?

Usually not. A dependant must have been wholly or substantially maintained or supported by the deceased at the time of death, otherwise than for full valuable consideration, and must also have been the deceased's parent, the parent of the deceased's child under 18, or a person under 18 (section 40). An adult friend or carer who does not fit one of those groups cannot apply, however close the relationship. Queensland has no household member or close personal relationship category of the kind found in New South Wales.

Does the nine months run from the death or from the grant of probate?

From the death. Section 41(8) measures the period by reference to the deceased person's death, not the grant of representation. This differs from Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory, where the period runs from the grant. It means the Queensland clock can be well advanced before probate is granted, so do not wait for the grant before giving notice and getting guidance.

Do I have to attend a mediation?

Probably, if your claim does not settle first. Under paragraph 38 of Practice Direction 14 of 2023, a Supreme Court family provision application will be referred to mediation at the earliest practical time if appropriate, and if the Court orders mediation the parties must attend (Civil Proceedings Act 2011 s 44). What is said at mediation can be used as evidence only if all parties agree (section 53). If the matter does not resolve, the parties may ask for it to be placed on the Wills and Estates List in Brisbane, or listed in the Applications List, for further directions about the trial.

What happens if the estate has already been distributed?

If the personal representative distributed properly and in line with section 44, they are protected from being sued for that distribution, and property already paid out may be difficult or impossible to recover. You may still be able to claim against any part of the estate that remains. Section 44(1) also protects distributions properly made to maintain the deceased's spouse or a dependent child, whatever notice was given. This is why giving written notice quickly matters. Get legal help immediately if you have only just learned about the death.

Can I make a claim against my parent's superannuation or family trust?

Generally no. A family provision order in Queensland can only be made out of the estate. Superannuation paid by the fund trustee directly to a dependant or nominee is not an estate asset, and assets held in a family trust or company are not owned by the deceased. Queensland has no notional estate powers; the main exception is that a gift made in contemplation of death is treated as part of the estate (section 41(12)). A superannuation death benefit paid to the legal personal representative does form part of the estate. Disputes about who a fund should pay go to the fund first and can then go to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, where time limits apply.
