time period limit to contesting a will in nsw
Time limits. An application under the Act must be made within 12 months of the death (it was previously 18 months). The applicant can ask the court to have the period extended, but there can no longer be an extension of time by the consent of the parties.he Supreme Court of NSW interprets wills made or contested in NSW. The executor, or a party interested in the estate, may apply to the court to have it determine what the will-maker meant by the will. For example, a woman with two grandsons called George may have left something to 'my grandson George'.
