Our Wills and Estate Planning Services
Drafting and Updating Wills
A will is a fundamental document that outlines how your assets will be distributed upon your death. Without a valid will, your estate may be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes. Our lawyers can help you draft a comprehensive will that clearly expresses your intentions and minimises the potential for disputes.
Our Will Services Include:
-
Drafting Wills: We help you create a legally binding will that details your wishes for the distribution of your assets, guardianship of minor children, and other important matters.
-
Updating Wills: Life changes, such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child, may require updates to your will. We ensure that your will remains up-to-date and in line with your current wishes.
-
Complex Wills: For clients with significant assets, business interests, or blended families, we provide advice on structuring your will to ensure that all aspects of your estate are managed effectively.
Establishing Trusts
Trusts can be an effective tool for managing your assets during your lifetime and after your death. They offer greater control over how your assets are distributed and can provide protection for beneficiaries, particularly minors or those with special needs. Our lawyers can advise on the most suitable trust structures for your situation and help establish them according to your wishes.
Our Trust Services Include:
-
Testamentary Trusts: Established in your will, these trusts can provide tax advantages and asset protection for your beneficiaries.
-
Family Trusts: A family trust can be used to manage family assets and income distribution, providing flexibility and control.
-
Special Disability Trusts: These trusts are designed to provide for family members with disabilities, ensuring their financial needs are met without affecting their entitlement to government benefits.
Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship
A power of attorney allows you to appoint someone to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself. An enduring guardian can make personal and health care decisions if you lose the capacity to make those decisions. Our lawyers can help you set up these essential documents to ensure that your affairs are managed according to your wishes.
Our Services Include:
-
Enduring Powers of Attorney: Appoint someone you trust to manage your financial and legal matters if you become incapacitated.
-
Enduring Guardianship: Appoint a guardian to make health and lifestyle decisions on your behalf, such as medical treatment or living arrangements.
-
Advanced Care Directives: Document your wishes for medical treatment and end-of-life care to guide your loved ones and healthcare providers.
Estate Administration
Administering an estate involves carrying out the instructions in a will, settling debts, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Our team can assist executors in fulfilling their responsibilities and ensure that the estate is administered efficiently and in accordance with the law.
Our Estate Administration Services Include:
-
Probate Applications: We help executors obtain a Grant of Probate, which is required to manage and distribute the estate.
-
Estate Management: We assist with all aspects of estate administration, from collecting and managing assets to paying debts and distributing to beneficiaries.
-
Resolving Disputes: If disputes arise among beneficiaries or over the validity of the will, our team can provide legal representation to resolve these issues effectively.
Benefits of Estate Planning
Control Over Asset Distribution
With a comprehensive estate plan, you decide how your assets are distributed, who will care for your children, and who will manage your affairs if you are unable to. This ensures that your wishes are respected and that your loved ones are provided for in the manner you intend.
Minimising Family Disputes
A well-drafted estate plan can help prevent disputes among family members by clearly outlining your wishes. It reduces ambiguity and provides clear instructions on how your assets should be managed and distributed.
Tax Efficiency
Proper estate planning can help minimise the tax burden on your estate and beneficiaries. We can advise on strategies such as testamentary trusts and gifting to reduce the potential tax liabilities associated with your estate.
Protecting Vulnerable Beneficiaries
If you have beneficiaries who are minors, have disabilities, or are not financially responsible, setting up trusts or other protective measures can ensure that they receive the support they need in a controlled and beneficial manner.
Why Act Now?
Avoid Intestacy
Without a valid will, your estate will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not align with your wishes. Acting now ensures that your assets are distributed as you intend and that your loved ones are cared for.
Life Changes
Major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant changes in your financial situation should prompt a review of your estate plan. Keeping your estate plan up to date ensures that it reflects your current circumstances and wishes.
Peace of Mind
Creating an estate plan gives you peace of mind, knowing that your affairs are in order and that your loved ones will be taken care of. It also provides guidance and support to your family during a difficult time, reducing their burden.
