Wills, Estate Planning & Deceased Estates

Wills & Estate Planning

Our Wills, Estate Planning and Deceased Estates team is led by partner, Nadia Falcone and offers sensitive and cost-effective advice to our clients.

We can assist you with:

• Wills – standard and complex Wills including establishing testamentary trusts
• Powers of Attorney including Enduring Power of Attorney, Appointment of Enduring Guardian, Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker and Advanced Care Directives
• Estate Planning advice taking into consideration asset protection (from creditors and relationships), guardianship of minor children, capacity and the possibility of testator family maintenance claims.
• Superannuation Binding Death Benefit Nominations

We always recommend that you keep your Will up to date and make necessary amendments if you have any significant changes in your life or circumstances for example:

• A new marriage or de facto relationship
• Divorce
• The birth or adoption of a child
• A change in your nominated guardian, personal representative or trustee
• Children reaching the age of 18 years old
• A substantial increase or decrease in your personal assets including interest in any company or business

Not only does keeping your Will up to date ensure that your Estate is distributed according to your wishes, but it also helps make distributing your estate an easier process for the executors and beneficiaries in what is already a difficult and emotional time.
