Estate Planning

Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, Appointments of Enduring Guardianship, Probate and Estate Disputes.

We have experienced Solicitors who can assist in drafting important estate planning documents including Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney and Appointments of Enduring Guardianship. We strongly recommend all people have these documents in place to ensure that the proper management of their affairs can occur in the event that they are unable to attend to their own affairs.

Our lawyers have considerable experience in assisting people draft a Will that not only reflects their intentions but also potentially avoids many of the problems that can occur when this all important document is not properly drafted and put in place.

For family members coping with the loss of a loved one, dealing with the legal obligations of deceased estates, applying for Probate and handling disputes concerning the estate can be a particularly confronting time. Our experienced "Probate and Estates team" have both the technical expertise and the human understanding that is necessary when handling this area of law.

We are proud of the way in which we have provided support to many families in these difficult times. In many cases we hold estate documentation including Wills for several generations of the same family who have continued to place their affairs with us due to the relationship of trust and confidence that we work hard to maintain.

 
The estate team has provided a significant amount of no cost work to community groups, hospitals, retirement villages and senior citizens' organisations by giving free seminars upon request as to the essentials of having proper management of their legal affairs in order to alleviate the burden upon their families at this difficult time.  We welcome the opportunity to present seminars in this important area.
