Wills & Estates
Guidance for life’s most important decisions
Our Services
-
We prepare both simple and complex wills that clearly set out your wishes and minimise uncertainty for your loved ones.
For more tailored needs, we draft testamentary trusts to provide long-term protection and flexibility.
-
We help you appoint trusted decision-makers for your financial, legal, personal and medical matters.
These documents ensure your affairs can be managed smoothly if you ever become unable to make decisions yourself.
-
Losing someone is challenging enough without having to navigate legal processes alone.
We assist with Probate applications, Letters of Administration, transferring assets, dealing with banks and government agencies and finalising the estate in accordance with the law and the deceased’s wishes.
-
If a valid will exists, we help you apply for Probate and guide you through each step: preparing documents, lodging the application and communicating with the Supreme Court and required organisations.
-
If a person dies without a will, or with an invalid will, we help you apply for Letters of Administration and ensure the estate is distributed correctly under Victorian intestacy laws.
-
We handle the transfer of real estate upon death, including survivorship applications for jointly owned property as well as Applications by Legal Personal Representative.
