Wills and Probate
Will & Estates
Proactively planning your future helps protect your family against the emotional and financial stress of losing you.
Yet there is more to formalising a will than the allocation of assets and care for your children. Our team will also advise and assist with maximising inheritance, setting up family trusts, selecting executors and guardians, answering questions on tax and capital gains, appointing powers of attorney, and minimising the chance of your will being contested down the track.
To understand wills and estates is to understand the complexities surrounding your financial, medical, and family needs. When it comes to planning your future, partner with a law firm that values your voice and champions everything that’s important to you.
Probate & Deceased Estates
The loss of a loved one is always an emotional time – and when you begin to factor in legal paperwork, family differences, and interpreting a person’s will (or lack thereof), things can get particularly stressful.
Probate is a legal process that essentially approves a person’s will after they have passed away. There are many steps involved and it’s in you and your family's best interests to seek expert advice in this area. Experience goes a long way - our team will help you interpret a will, assist executors with their duties, collect financial assets, pay debts, liaise with government bodies, sell property, and offer guidance for when there isn’t a will in place.
We manage every aspect of your loved one’s probate and deceased estate, allowing you to concentrate on the things that matter most.
Power Of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a legal document whereby one person grants another person authority to make legal, financial, or medical decisions on their behalf. Depending on the type of Power of Attorney granted, sometimes this is enduring and other times it might be in place for a specific period of time.
You may be considering a Power of Attorney if you plan on travelling and will not be able to take care of your affairs in person, or perhaps you wish to protect yourself should an unforeseen accident or illness prevent you from making decisions in the future. Regardless of your purpose, it’s important the correct type of document is drawn and formalised.
For personal decisions of this magnitude, connect with a legal firm you trust.
