Our Estate Planning Services
Wills
A will is a fundamental document in any estate plan, outlining how your assets will be distributed upon your death. Our lawyers can help you draft a will that clearly expresses your wishes, minimises the potential for disputes, and ensures your assets are passed on to your beneficiaries as intended.
Our Will Services Include:
-
Drafting and reviewing wills
-
Advising on asset distribution
-
Incorporating guardianship provisions for minor children
-
Advising on testamentary trusts for minor beneficiaries or vulnerable family members

Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself. This can include financial decisions, as well as personal and health care decisions. We can assist in drafting and setting up these documents to ensure your wishes are respected even if you are incapacitated.
Our Powers of Attorney Services Include:

Drafting enduring powers of attorney for financial decisions

Drafting enduring powers of attorney for personal and health care decisions
-

Testamentary Trusts
A testamentary trust is a trust established in your will, coming into effect upon your death. It can provide greater control over the distribution of your assets and offer protection for beneficiaries, particularly minors or those with special needs. Our lawyers can help you establish a testamentary trust that aligns with your objectives and safeguards your estate.
Our Testamentary Trust Services Include:
-
Drafting testamentary trusts in wills
-
Advising on trustee selection and duties

Superannuation and Estate Planning
Superannuation is often one of the largest assets in an estate, but it does not automatically form part of your will. Our lawyers can help you understand how your superannuation benefits are handled and advise you on making binding death benefit nominations to ensure your superannuation is distributed according to your wishes.
Our Superannuation Services Include:
-
Advising on superannuation death benefit nominations
-
Drafting binding and non-binding death benefit nominations
-
Advising on superannuation entitlements for beneficiaries

We provide compassionate and efficient support to ensure the process is handled smoothly and in accordance with the law.

-
Advising executors on their duties and responsibilities

The Estate Planning Process
Initial Consultation
We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your circumstances and objectives. This is an opportunity for you to discuss your concerns and for us to gather the necessary information to create a tailored estate plan.
Document Preparation
Based on your instructions, we will draft the necessary legal documents, including wills, powers of attorney, and any relevant trust documents. We ensure these documents reflect your wishes and comply with legal requirements.
Review and Finalisation
Once the documents are prepared, we will review them with you in detail, making any necessary adjustments to ensure they accurately represent your intentions. We will then finalise the documents, ensuring they are properly executed and witnessed.
Ongoing Review and Updates
An effective estate plan is not static. As your circumstances change, your estate plan may need to be updated. We offer ongoing support and advice to ensure your plan continues to meet your needs, providing peace of mind that your wishes will be honoured.
Why Act Now?
Avoid Disputes
Without a clear and legally valid estate plan, your assets may not be distributed according to your wishes, leading to potential disputes among beneficiaries. By acting now, you can prevent future conflicts and ensure your estate is managed smoothly.
Protect Vulnerable Beneficiaries
Estate planning allows you to make specific provisions for beneficiaries who may need additional support or protection, such as minor children, family members with disabilities, or those who are not financially responsible.
Minimise Tax Implications
A well-structured estate plan can minimise the tax burden on your estate and beneficiaries, ensuring that more of your assets are passed on to those you care about.
