Wills & Estates
What's involved in Wills and Estates Planning?
Wills and estates planning is about ensuring your assets (including your property) are protected and distributed according to your wishes. Our comprehensive approach covers three essential documents:
Your Will:
- Details how your assets will be distributed after your death
- Names guardians for minor children
- Appoints executors to manage your estate
- Includes specific provisions for property and valuable assets
- Ensures your wishes are legally binding and enforceable
Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA)
- Allows you to appoint someone you trust to make financial and legal decisions if you become unable to do so
- Covers property transactions, banking, investments, and other financial matters
- Remains valid even if you lose mental capacity
- Essential protection for property owners
Binding Death Nomination
- Directs your superannuation fund to pay your super benefits to specific beneficiaries
- Bypasses the fund trustee's discretion
- Ensures your super goes where you intend, not where the fund decides
- Can represent a significant portion of your total estate
Why do these work together?
Your property, superannuation, and other assets need coordinated planning. Without proper estate planning, your loved ones may face delays, additional costs, and uncertainty about your wishes. Our fixed-price package ensures all three documents work together seamlessly to protect everything you've worked hard to build. When challenges arise, we have qualified lawyers on our team with the resources to resolve any issues quickly.
