The firm’s private client division provides advice on all property related matters, asset protection, estate planning, Wills and Estate administration.
With an extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of trusts, taxation and estate administration, the firm has an established reputation in Estate planning and Estate administration, including Wills and Testamentary documents, Testamentary Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Appointment of Guardian and Advance Care (Medical) Directives.
We understand that effective estate planning is about more than just creating a valid Will. It is about working with our clients to understand their individual circumstances and giving them, and their families, peace of mind. We often work with successive generations of families as well as liaising with our clients’ accountant or financial planner in a holistic approach.
We advise our clients about, and draft, the documents they need to ensure that their wishes are effectively and efficiently carried out both during their life time and after they pass away.
Our Estates team assists and advises our clients when they are acting as an Executor or Administrator of a deceased estate. We understand that this is often a very difficult and emotional time and we ensure that the process is as seamless as possible for executors and beneficiaries alike.
When our clients find themselves involved in a disputed estate, whether as a plaintiff or a defendant, we provide them with expert advice and guide them through the process to achieve the best possible outcome for them.
