Wills & Estates

Nominating an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) allows you to nominate a trusted person who will then have the authority to make important financial decisions for you if you are not able to, due to illness or incapacity. These duties may involve tasks such as paying your bills or managing your bank accounts. 

Although it is possible for you to make your own EPA document, this comes with inherent risk. Let us guide you through a simple process that will protect your assets from unforeseen circumstances.

A Letter of Administration from the courts gives you the legal right to manage and distribute the assets of a person who passed away without leaving behind a Will. 

Our lawyers will assist in the necessary steps to receive the Letter of Administration; this includes drafting paperwork, witnessing signatures, lodging applications, and protecting you from future claims by publishing your application’s credibility. 

Being able to rely on a lawyer when filing for a Letter of Administration can provide a great peace of mind, and can result in a higher chance of having a successful Court application.

A Grant of Probate is a legal document which provides important legal authority in the overseeing of a person’s Will. A number of financial and professional organisations, such as insurance companies, may not cooperate with you without one.

We will tailor your documents to your needs, to ensure your application is successful. Our lodgement of a professional affidavit will make the process significantly less stressful.

Ideally, the process of overseeing a Will is simple. However, in situations where the interpretation of the Will is unclear, or someone feels unfairly treated, we can provide advice, undertake settlement negotiations, and represent clients in Court if litigation is required.

We assist in disputes concerning the validity of Wills, administration of estates and claims for further provision from an estate for executors, administrators, beneficiaries, and other claimants. 

Your estate is too important to be handled by anyone less than a knowledgeable professional who represents YOUR interests. Make time to talk with an estate lawyer today.
