    Wills & Estate Planning

    Who would you like to provide for, and who would you trust to carry out your wishes? We help you work through the decisions behind your Will. We consider your family, assets, superannuation and trust arrangements together, including matters that may need separate attention.

  2. 02

    Testamentary Trusts

    How an inheritance is managed can matter as much as who receives it. You may want to discuss arrangements for children or someone who needs support managing money. We explain testamentary trust planning, the responsibilities involved and whether it may suit your circumstances.

  3. 03

    Powers of Attorney & Guardianship

    Planning also means considering who could make decisions during your lifetime if you were unable to. We explain enduring powers of attorney and guardianship, their different roles and what to consider when choosing someone you trust. We prepare these documents alongside your Will so your plan covers life as well as death.

  4. 04

    Probate & Letters of Administration

    Dealing with a loved one's estate can bring unfamiliar responsibilities. We help you understand whether an application is needed and which one is appropriate. We assist with preparing the application and explain the information and documents required.

    Business Succession Planning

    Prepare for a sale, a handover or succession after your death. We help you consider ownership, existing agreements and your intentions for the business. We explain how your business interests connect with your personal estate planning.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

A few of the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, call us — we are happy to talk it through.

  • A Will is a legally binding document that sets out how your estate should be administered and who you want to manage that process. We can help you understand what it should cover and what may need separate attention.

  • You should review your estate plan whenever there’s a major change in your life, your family or your assets. Most people benefit from checking in every few years to make sure their estate planning documents still reflect their wishes and circumstances.

  • A first meeting is a straightforward, one-hour conversation where we get to know your circumstances and confirm the documents you’ll need. We’ll discuss your family, assets and any specific concerns, explain your options, and outline the estate planning structure that best fits your situation. By the end of the meeting, you’ll have a clear plan and next steps.

  • Yes. We offer fixed fees for our estate planning work. Once we understand your circumstances at the first meeting, we’ll confirm our professional fees for the documents you need.
