Estate Planning and Probate Division
We can assist you with your estate planning needs, no matter how complex you may consider them to be. We can help you to understand and consider the numerous options that may be available through testamentary trusts, structuring arrangements and tax minimisation strategies, which are otherwise not provided by simple wills as well as taking steps to avoid or limit estate claims and to protect assets for the benefit of your beneficiaries.
We provide comprehensive and tailored advice to meet your estate planning needs, including matching your estate planning needs with your property portfolio and investment plans for yourself, your family and your estate.
With Specialist Accreditation in Family and De Facto Law, we specialise in advising spouses, de factos and extended family members on making and defending estate claims in the Supreme and District Courts. Through our large team of lawyers, we are able to provide you with cost effective document preparation and advice on your entitlements under an estate and represent you in court.
