Wills, Estates & Probate Matters.

Choosing the right lawyer to represent you when you need to make a Will or plan for your future is important. It is such a personal matter that you need someone you can trust to support you every step of the way. These days there are many DIY Wills kits available; however, the fact is that you need a Will that you and your dependants can rely on, one that will stand up against potential challenge. Only an experienced lawyer can make your Will watertight. At life’s hardest moments, you need to be comfortable with the values and culture of that firm. Our lawyers place a client’s trust ahead of profit. We never cut corners, getting the job done properly for your benefit, not ours.

Our Approach to Handling Wills & Estates Matters

Our experienced Wills and Estates team have been practising in this area for decades. We have drafted innumerable Wills and assisted thousands of executors to administer the estates of loved ones.

We take care of all issues to do with Wills & Probate matters – the preparation of Wills and powers of attorney, the administration of deceased estates and obtaining Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration and claims over the division of deceased estates.

At your first appointment, you will see a member of our experienced Wills and Estates team and have the opportunity to provide us with information in order for us to prompt you with additional questions to ensure we have a clear understanding of your circumstances, including your financial position or the financial position of the deceased.

If you are seeing us about an Estate matter, you may be experiencing feelings of grief and sadness. It is common to feel daunted by the legal process and you may be facing financial stress. Your lawyer will explain the process and offer immediate sensitive and sound legal advice to help you act quickly to get things underway.

At the end of your first appointment with us, we will explain clearly how we charge fees and give you a more accurate estimate of the cost of your matter.

Please note, as there are no winners or losers in regard to matters regarding Wills & Estates, these cases are not eligible for our unique No Win, No Fees OR Expenses* policy. However, if you do have other legal matters you wish to discuss with us, please mention this when speaking with us.
