WILLS & ESTATES

Caring, Reassuring Guidance

We appreciate that wills and succession are a sensitive issue for many and that clients need to have trust in us to guide them to make the right decisions. We know that such trust brings responsibilities and we work hard to make the entire process easier for our clients. 

Wills

We want our clients to view their will as something that is worth having in place for all different stages of their lives, from young parents, to older grandparents, a will should tie up all loose ends. We work with our clients to advise how to achieve the best the balance and minimise the possibility of disputes. We can help you to make informed choices, having regard to taxation and other considerations, to finalise a will that can give you peace of mind.

Administration of Estates

We appreciate that dealing with the death of a family member can be a difficult time and that the complex paperwork and rules involved in administering the estate of that loved one are areas where a sympathetic approach is needed. We take the burden and responsibility of seeing that the estate is administered correctly. We will guide you through the process, so it becomes manageable and not overwhelming and that all legal and taxation issues are explained and dealt with comprehensively.

Powers of Attorney

More and more clients are using the procedure of executing an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA), to plan for possible or potential incapacity. With experience in preparing such EPAs and operating same, we can guide you through the entire process, in a sensitive and pragmatic way. Sometimes it is not possible to execute an EPA, in which case we can give comprehensive advice on the process of making an application to have a person’s interests protected as a Ward of Court, if necessary.
