  • Having a will is essential to ensure your estate is distributed as you wish after you are gone. We are here to guide you through the process to make it as straightforward and efficient as possible to ensure your estate is distributed and your wishes honoured.

  • Trusts are not necessarily drafted with estate planning in mind. We can review your trust assets and deeds to ensure that the trust provisions align with your broader estate planning goals.

  • This important document lets you appoint a person or persons to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if in future you are unable to administer or manage your financial or personal affairs. We are here to guide you through the process to ensure your choices are upheld.

  • The idea of being unable to make decisions for our health and future, whether due to age, illness or accident is confronting. Legally appointing a medical treatment decision maker empowers you to choose the person or persons best placed to carry out your wishes if you are unable to do so. We are here to help and guide you through the process to provide you with clarity and peace of mind.

  • There is much to consider when estate planning for a blended family. It’s important to give careful thought to your estate planning to avoid conflict and ensure clarity. We are here to help guide you through the process so that your wishes are fulfilled and that there is clarity for all parties involved.

  • Losing a family member or loved one is a distressing time, and navigating the legal and personal decisions that must be made can be daunting and overwhelming. We are here to help.

    If you are an executor of a will and need assistance to apply for a Grant of Probate or next of kin of a loved one who has died without a will (intestate) and need assistance to apply for Letters of Administration, we can help guide you through the legal process.

  • If you need assistance in administering an estate and carrying out the terms of a will (or the rules of intestacy), we can manage the process on your behalf, so the estate can be administered and distributed with care and efficiency.

  • Unfortunately, after someone dies, arguments between family members or individuals who believe they have a legitimate interest in the estate can occur. We are here to assist, to provide clarity and a pathway to resolution. Whether you wish to contest a will or defend an estate, we are here to help.
