Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to have a professionally drafted Will?
A legally sound Will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, and helps prevent disputes among beneficiaries as everything has been set out clearly and legally. Our lawyers tailor Wills to your unique circumstances, including family dynamics, tax implications, and asset protection.
A Will outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death and appoints executors to manage your estate. A testamentary trust, on the other hand, establishes one or more trusts that come into effect upon your passing that can provide ongoing control and protection of assets, for example for young beneficiaries, vulnerable family members, or where tax-effective structuring is desired.
Yes. We create strategic estate plans that include business succession to ensure continuity and protect your business interests in the event of death or incapacity.
If you pass away intestate (without a valid will), your estate is distributed according to state intestacy laws, which may not reflect your wishes, or a family member will usually need to apply to the Court for Letters of Administration to manage your estate, which is time-consuming and costly. We help you avoid this by drafting a comprehensive Will that clearly outlines your intentions.
Trusts can preserve wealth, protect vulnerable beneficiaries, and manage assets over time. We advise on and establish various types of trusts, including discretionary, special needs, and family trusts, tailored to your needs.
A comprehensive estate plan should include a Will, enduring power of attorney, appointment of medical treatment decision-maker, advance care directive, and binding death benefit nominations for superannuation if applicable. Additional documents such as a testamentary trust, letter of wishes, and lists of assets and liabilities can also be valuable for clarity and protection.
