Wills & Estates
Having a clear, valid Will and estate plan gives you peace of mind — knowing your wishes will be respected and your loved ones protected.
We assist with preparing Wills, Powers of Attorney and Appointments of Enduring Guardian. We also guide families through probate and estate administration after a loved one passes.
Fees: Simple Wills from $400. Complex matters quoted individually.
Will
A Will is a legal document that sets out your wishes for how your property, assets and personal belongings will be distributed after your death. It can also appoint guardians for children and make other personal arrangements.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a document where you appoint someone to manage your financial and legal affairs on your behalf — for example, if you are unwell, travelling, or unable to manage your affairs yourself.
Enduring Guardian
An Appointment of Enduring Guardian allows you to nominate someone to make decisions about your health, medical care, lifestyle, and personal matters — if you are ever unable to do so yourself (for example, through illness or incapacity).
Probate
Probate is the court process that confirms a Will is valid and authorises the executor to administer the estate — this means collecting the assets, paying debts, and distributing inheritances.
Letters of Administration
If a person dies without a valid Will, the court can grant Letters of Administration to an appropriate person (usually a next of kin), who will then manage and distribute the estate according to law.
Why is it important to have your estate planning documents arranged:
Having an up-to-date Will and personal planning documents is one of the most important ways you can protect your loved ones and your future.
A Will ensures your wishes are followed after your death. Powers of Attorney and Appointments of Enduring Guardian ensure that - if something happens to you - trusted people can manage your affairs and make decisions in your best interests.
Without these documents, your family may face confusion, legal costs and stress at an already difficult time.
Planning ahead gives you peace of mind - knowing you have made things as clear and simple as possible for those you care about.
