Estate planning is about more than preparing a Will. It is about clearly recording your wishes, choosing who can make decisions for you and putting appropriate arrangements in place for the people and matters that are important to you.
Fill in your details and one of our lawyers will be in touch.
A complete estate plan can address what happens to your assets after your death, who may make financial or personal decisions if you lose capacity and how your wishes can be documented clearly. Your estate plan should reflect your family circumstances, assets, responsibilities and intentions. Our estate planning lawyers will explain the available options and help you decide which documents may be appropriate for you.
We explain estate planning in plain language, not legal jargon. You'll understand your options and the reasons behind our recommendations.
Every family is different. We take the time to understand your unique circumstances, goals, and concerns to create a plan that works for you.
We're a boutique firm. You'll work directly with your lawyer throughout the process and receive prompt, personal attention.
A valid Will is essential. We'll help you create a legally sound document that clearly expresses your wishes and protects your family.
Choose who will manage your financial and personal affairs if you become unable to do so yourself—ensuring your interests are protected.
Document your healthcare preferences and appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you're unable to do so.
A testamentary trust in your Will can provide added control over how your assets are distributed and managed for your beneficiaries.
Our team can guide your executors through the probate process and assist with the practical and legal steps to distribute your estate.
If you believe you have a claim against an estate, we can assess your legal rights and help you pursue or defend against a family provision claim.
An estate plan is not a "set and forget" document. Review your plan if any of these apply:

Many Australians assume that making any note about their wishes is enough to update their Will. However, it's important to consider the consequences of not updating your will. Unfortunately, that assumption can cost loved ones and intended beneficiaries hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If you are unsatisfied with a family member's Will, you need to know if you can make a claim against the estate. In Queensland, the law gives certain family members and dependants the right to "contest" a Will through what is known as a family provision claim.

We are all aware of the availability of cheap Will kits, which are do-it-yourself-type scenarios. Several years ago, you could purchase them at the Post Office for $25.00. You then complete the Will yourself and keep the Will. Whilst cheap, the adage that you get what you pay for is true.
