Wills and Estate Legal Advice in Brisbane

Drafting a Will is an important step in ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death. Our Wills and Estate lawyers can help you prepare a legally sound Will that clearly expresses your intentions.

When someone dies, their estate must be administered according to their Will or, if they didn’t have a Will, according to the law. We can assist executors in obtaining probate, which is the court’s recognition that the Will is legally valid. If there is no Will, our wills and estates lawyers can assist in obtaining letters of administration, which is the court’s appointment of an administrator to distribute the estate.

We can provide advice on various aspects of estate planning, including the use of trusts, superannuation nominations, powers of attorney, and strategies to minimise tax implications.

If a Will is being contested, our Wills and Estate lawyers can represent the executor or the estate, defending the validity of the Will and the testator’s intentions.

If you’ve been left out of a Will, or believe you’ve been insufficiently provided for, we can advise you on your rights and represent you in challenging the Will. This can involve making a family provision claim, where the court considers whether the Will adequately provides for the testator’s dependants.

If you require legal assistance in any of these areas, our wills and estate lawyers can provide expert advice and legal representation. Please contact us today for a confidential discussion on 1300 794 559 or, alternatively, contact us using our enquiry form and we will respond to you promptly.
