A well drafted will is an essential part of estate planning. However, to make sure that your wishes are honoured after you pass on, you should go beyond a will. Estate planning is a deeply personal process and every situation is different. Good legal advice now allows you to put a robust plan in place to preserve your legacy for the future.
A well drafted will is an essential part of estate planning. However, to make sure that your wishes are honoured after you pass on, you should go beyond a will. Estate planning is a deeply personal process and every situation is different. Good legal advice now allows you to put a robust plan in place to preserve your legacy for the future.
We work with you to understand your financial situation, objectives and goals. We’ll identify any personal or family dynamics that might affect the approach you take so that we can develop a tailored solution for your estate.
If you have a blended family or a complex asset structure you may require additional advice to ensure that future generations receive the full benefit of your estate. We will advise you on the use of testamentary trusts, mutual wills and other instruments that you can utilise towards your goals. We will also take into account any tax implications or business risks that might arise and seek to minimise them through the right structures.
If you have assets outside Australia, or your executor lives overseas, we will advise on how to deal with the resulting cross-jurisdictional issues
We are also experienced in drafting Islamic wills in a way that ensures that the will complies with Australian legal requirements and Islamic principles.
Our comprehensive estate planning services also include planning for end-of-life care. By creating an Enduring Power of Attorney, Enduring Guardianship and Advanced Health Care Directive now, you can enjoy peace of mind that your wishes will be honoured if you lose the capacity to communicate or make decisions on your own behalf.
In the event that a dispute arises over a will, we can help protect your interests. This includes situations where a person may have been unfairly left out of a will or where the will does not accurately reflect the wishes of the deceased.
