Preparation of a Will
A Will sets out who will receive your assets after you pass away (your “beneficiaries”). Without a valid Will, your estate may be distributed under intestacy rules, which may not reflect your wishes.
We can help you prepare or update your Will so that:
- your final wishes are respected;
- your minor children are properly provided for; and
- your executor can obtain probate and administer your estate with fewer delays.
You should consider reviewing your Will if you:
- marry;
- have children or grandchildren;
- buy or sell property; or
- experience another significant change in your circumstances.m
Preparation of a Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to handle your financial and legal affairs if you’re unable to do so.
We can help you put a Power of Attorney in place so that:
- bills, banking and property matters can be managed without unnecessary delay; and
- your wishes are followed with clear safeguards.
Preparation of an Enduring Guardianship
An Enduring Guardianship appointment lets you nominate who can make personal, lifestyle and health decisions for you if you lose capacity.
We can help you ensure:
- the right person is appointed to act for you; and
- your preferences about care and living arrangements are clearly recorded.
Probate services
Probate is the Court process that confirms a Will and authorises an executor to deal with the estate.
We assist executors and families by:
- preparing and lodging a grant of probate;
- guiding you through estate administration;
- help you apply for letters of administration when there is no will provided; and
- helping reduce delays and administrative burden during a difficult time.
