Key documents we prepare
(and why they matter)

A well‑crafted Will

Your will appoints an executor to manage your estate and sets out who receives your assets. We draft with clarity to reduce the risk of confusion or disputes, and we can include guardianship provisions for minor children.

Enduring Power of Attorney (Financial & Personal)

This lets someone you trust make decisions about money, property and personal matters if you lose capacity—so bills can be paid, property managed and day‑to‑day life continues.

Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision‑Maker

Should you become unable to make health decisions, this appointment ensures a person you trust can speak with your doctors and make decisions consistent with your values.

Testamentary Trusts

For many families, a testamentary trust can help manage inheritances for young or vulnerable beneficiaries, add a layer of protection if your children later separate from partners, and provide tax flexibility.

If you’re searching “wills lawyer near me” — here’s what you can expect

Discovery call

A short, no‑obligation discussion to understand your circumstances and confirm which documents best suit your needs.

Tailored recommendations

We’ll explain the options that fit your family and assets—whether that’s a straightforward will, a will with testamentary trust, or additional appointments and directives.

Drafting

We prepare customised documents based on your instructions. You’ll have time to review and ask questions.

Signing & witnessing

We arrange a signing appointment (in‑person or by alternative arrangements in limited circumstances) to ensure everything is executed correctly.

Secure storage & updates

We can securely store your signed originals and provide guidance on when to review or update your plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need a lawyer to make a will?

DIY kits don’t account for blended families, second marriages, businesses, trusts or complex assets. A solicitor‑drafted will reduces risk and gives your family clear instructions.

Review your plan after major life events: marriage, separation, the birth of a child or grandchild, acquiring or selling significant assets, starting or restructuring a business, or the death or incapacity of someone named in your documents.

Victoria has default intestacy rules that decide who inherits and in what shares. This can produce outcomes you wouldn’t expect (for example in blended families). Preparing a valid will lets you choose.

Potential claimants (for example, eligible family members) may bring a family provision claim. We provide early advice on the merits of claims and pursue cost‑effective resolutions, including mediation.

Yes. We support executors and administrators with practical checklists, correspondence, asset collection, payment of liabilities and distributions—keeping you compliant and organised.
