What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning involves preparing legal documents that determine how your assets will be distributed when you die; who will manage your financial affairs or make decisions for your physical care for you when you're unable to do so. It's a safeguard that provides peace of mind for you and certainty for your family.

Divorce automatically revokes appointments of, and gifts to your former life partner: separation does not.  As experienced family lawyers, we understand that every family situation is unique, and requires unique solutions. We take time to understand your circumstances, your relationships, and your goals before crafting a tailored estate plan that reflects your wishes.

Our estate planning services include:

• Will preparation - Ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes -  minimising potential family disputes

• Enduring Powers of Attorney - Appointing trusted ones to manage your financial affairs when you are unable to

• Enduring Guardianship Appointments - Appointing trusted ones that can make decisions for your physical wellbeing when you are unable to

• Powers of Attorney - Appointing trusted people to manage your financial affairs when you are unable to do so for a limited, definitive time

We also advise on binding death benefit nominations for superannuation, one of Australia's most significant assets that often falls outside standard wills.

Family lawyers bring unique insight into the emotional and legal complexities that can arise around inheritance, blended families, estranged relationships, and dependent children. We've seen firsthand how proper planning prevents disputes and protects vulnerable family members when circumstances are difficult.
