Wills, Estates & Probate Matters.

Planning for your family’s future and ensuring your wishes are properly documented requires more than just filling out forms—it requires understanding, expertise, and genuine care for what matters most to you. Choosing the right lawyer to represent you when you need to make a Will or plan for your future is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.

While DIY Will kits might seem convenient and cost-effective, they often create more problems than they solve. You need a Will that you and your dependants can rely on, one that will stand up against potential challenge. More importantly, you need comprehensive estate planning that considers tax implications, asset protection, family dynamics, and changing legislation. Only an experienced lawyer can create an estate plan that truly protects your family’s interests.

Whether you’re dealing with grief after losing a loved one or planning for your own family’s future, you need lawyers who understand the emotional weight of these decisions. Our decades of experience mean we can guide you through both the legal complexities and the emotional challenges with sensitivity and expertise.

Our Approach to Handling Wills & Estates Matters

We understand that dealing with Wills and Estates matters often comes at emotionally difficult times in your life. Our experienced Wills and Estates team have been practising in this area for decades. We have drafted countless Wills and assisted thousands of executors to administer the estates of loved ones.

We take care of all issues to do with Wills and 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 while we ask thoughtful 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, we recognise that 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 with sensitivity and offer immediate, 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 and 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.
