Wills and Estate Planning

A professionally drafted Will is essential to ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. Without a valid Will, you risk your estate being divided according to a government formula, which may not reflect your personal desires.

We can assist with:

• Draft clear, legally binding Wills
• Appoint trusted Executors and Beneficiaries
• Plan for complex estates, including business interests, superannuation, and family trusts
• Minimise potential disputes and protect vulnerable beneficiaries
• Explore testamentary trusts to protect assets for minors or disabled dependents
• Structure your estate to maximise benefits and minimise tax implications

Our Estate Planning services go beyond just making a Will — we provide comprehensive advice tailored to your circumstances, ensuring your assets are protected and your loved ones are cared for exactly as you intend.

Powers of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is a critical document that allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.

Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA)

An Enduring Power of Attorney continues to be effective even if you lose mental capacity. It allows your appointed attorney to manage your financial, property, and sometimes personal affairs.

We can assist with:

• Appoint the right person or persons
• Define the scope of powers
• Ensure the document complies with legal requirements
• Provide clear instructions to guide your attorney

General Power of Attorney

A General Power of Attorney is typically used for a specific period or event, such as while you are overseas or temporarily unable to manage your affairs. It becomes invalid if you lose mental capacity.

This is great for:

• Temporary delegation of financial responsibilities
• Managing business affairs during your absence
• Short-term property or investment transactions

Guardianship

If you are concerned about who would make decisions regarding your health, lifestyle, or personal matters if you are unable to do so, establishing a Guardianship Arrangement is essential.

We can assist with:

• Appointment of trusted Guardians to make personal, health, and lifestyle decisions
• Advanced Care Directives and health care decision-making frameworks
• Legal advice for family members seeking guardianship orders
• Resolving disputes around guardianship through mediation and legal representation
