● Wills & estate planning

Taking care of yourself and your loved ones

We recognise the significance of protecting your family and ensuring your loved ones are taken care of in case of unexpected events. By working closely with you, we help create an Estate Plan that aligns with your goals and wishes, so everything unfolds as you would like.

We also guide you in passing on your wealth to the next generation, focusing on strategies that offer the best asset protection and tax efficiency.

What is an estate plan?

An Estate Plan goes beyond a simple Will. When creating your Estate Plan, we take a comprehensive approach, considering both your family dynamics and business structures. We engage in meaningful conversations to understand your priorities and the legacy you wish to leave behind

We conduct a thorough review of your business structures and Family and Unit Trust Deeds to gain a comprehensive understanding of the assets you own and control.

For blended families, where you and your partner have children from previous relationships, we work with you to clarify your wishes regarding the distribution of assets you individually own or control. We then help you implement strategies, such as Life Interests or Capital Protective Trusts, to ensure your intentions are clearly documented in your Will.

Superannuation is another key component of an estate plan. We ensure you have a current, valid Binding Death Benefit Nomination and, if applicable, review your SMSF Trust Deed to ensure the nomination is correctly in place according to its provisions

● How it works

How does the process work?

In-person consultation

We meet with you in person to discuss your priorities, outline your Estate Plan, and guide you through the next steps to ensure everything is completed efficiently and in accordance with your wishes.

Zoom consultation

We offer Zoom consultations to discuss your Estate Plan, address your key concerns, and explain the process moving forward. For your convenience, we offer limited evening availability for Zoom consultations. If this option works best for you, please let us know.

Estate planning fact sheet

You can fill out our Estate Planning Fact Sheet, which enables you to outline your wishes and instructions clearly. After reviewing your completed Estate Planning Fact Sheet, we will get in touch with you to arrange a Zoom meeting to go over your responses and ensure all your concerns are fully addressed.
