Wills

A well-drafted will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. We help you articulate your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets, the care of minor children, and any specific legacies you wish to leave. Our wills are designed to be robust and clear, minimising the potential for disputes and ensuring your wishes are honoured.

Trusts

Trusts can be a powerful tool in estate planning, offering flexibility, tax benefits, and asset protection. Whether you’re looking to establish a living trust, a special needs trust for a loved one, or a charitable trust, our team can advise on the best type of trust for your situation and help implement it effectively.

Powers of Attorney

Preparing for the unexpected includes ensuring that someone you trust can make decisions on your behalf should you become unable to do so. We assist in drafting powers of attorney for financial matters and health care decisions, providing you with reassurance that your affairs will be handled as you would wish.

Estate Administration

The process of administering an estate can be daunting for executors and beneficiaries alike. Our team offers comprehensive estate administration services, from probate and the collection and distribution of assets to dealing with any claims against the estate. We aim to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Estate Litigation

Disputes over wills and estates can be particularly distressing. Our skilled litigators are adept at handling such disputes with sensitivity and determination, whether through negotiation, mediation, or, if necessary, court proceedings. Our goal is to achieve a resolution that honours the decedent’s wishes and maintains family harmony.

Succession Planning

For business owners, ensuring the continuity of your business after your passing is a key concern. Our succession planning services include advising on the structuring of your business, drafting buy-sell agreements, and planning for the transfer of your business interests to ensure a smooth transition.

Elder Law

We also specialise in elder law, offering advice on issues such as retirement planning, aged care, and guardianship. Our aim is to ensure that your legal and financial affairs are in order so you can enjoy your later years with confidence.
