Wills & Estates
A clear will and a considered estate plan protect the people you care about. We assist clients with straightforward wills, more complex estate planning involving trusts and businesses, and the administration of estates after a death.
Protecting Your Wishes, Family and Legacy
Our work covers both sides of estate law: planning ahead, and dealing with an estate after a death. That includes wills and testamentary trusts, powers of attorney and enduring guardianship, superannuation and beneficiary nominations, probate and letters of administration, estate administration and distribution, and family provision and estate disputes.
A good estate plan does more than name beneficiaries. It considers blended families, business interests, jointly held property, superannuation that may fall outside your estate, and the risk that a will is later challenged. Small details, properly addressed now, prevent significant cost and conflict later.
When someone has died, we guide executors and families through the practical steps with care, from locating and proving the will to obtaining a grant, dealing with assets and liabilities and distributing the estate correctly.
