Succession and Estate Planning

It is very important to have a succession plan in place that makes the transition easy not only for yourself but also for your family or employees and minimizes the chances of the business or farm having to be sold up when you leave.

Estate planning goes beyond drafting a Will – it includes:
Estate planning is an active process of re-evaluating the estate when circumstances in life change, such as:

A successful estate plan is made involving all family members as it will take into account not only provisions for your retirement income but also the plans, aptitudes and existing assets of younger generations.

Drafting a Will

A lot of people prefer working on their will themselves. This is cost friendly, however, it’s not an advisable solution as the laws relating to Wills and Succession law can be complex. If a Will is not prepared well, or executed poorly, it can lead to a Will being challenged. This adds more stress to lives of people who are grieving a loved one. Not to mention the financial cost of defending such claims in court. 

Don’t let your hard earned assets wash away just for saving costs.

This depends on how you draft your will.

We have extensive experience in Will drafting to ensure all the needs and requirements are met.

Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is a document used to appoint a trusted individual who can make important financial decisions and handle your financial affairs when you are unable to do so. A Power of Attorney provides your appointed attorney with the legal authority to look after your financial affairs.

A Power of Attorney can be used in a variety of circumstances. Some common examples include:

  • If you were taking an extended trip interstate or overseas
  • If you need to sell your property but you are unable to sign the legal documents
  • If you are no longer be able to manage your own financial affairs

There are two types of Powers of Attorney:

  • General Power of Attorney
  • Enduring Power of Attorney

Our lawyers can prepare both enduring and normal Power of Attorney documents, and can advise you further on:

  • When the appointment is to operate
  • Limiting or provide unrestricted powers to the attorney appointed
  • Whether attorneys appointed (if more than one) must act jointly or whether they can independently exercise the powers
