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

Melisa Sloan has serviced a number of our VIP members for years now. Our members have her in high regards with the highest of ethical standards and professionalism in every interaction with them. Delightful professional to discuss issues with; in depth understanding of legal matters. More recently Madison Sloan Lawyers and her team completed my personal Wills and the process was so uncomplicated that it was brilliant to finally get something in place. We would highly recommend her and the Madison Sloan team to anyone looking for legal advice in Estate Planning and Wills | Probate | Conveyancing.

I don’t know why I had put off organising a will for so long! Melisa was so knowledgeable and made the process so easy for my husband and I. She questioned things that we had not even thought of! I highly recommend Melisa and her team at Madison Sloan Lawyers.

Alison

★★★★★

Five stars is not enough! After having a really terrible time dealing with estate lawyers closer to the city, we went to see Madison Sloan. At the time we were in a really stressed state, but the wonderful women there couldn't have been kinder and more pleasant to deal with. After they had dealt with that issue, we went back for extensive estate planning and have been very happy with the results. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Melisa & her team recently assisted me with my estate planning. It was a task which I had been putting in the "too hard basket" for far too long. At our very first meeting, Melisa made me feel very welcome & at ease answering all my many questions. They have a set of packages with different features which really simplifies the process. I was very impressed with Madison Sloan & how efficient, professional & "on point" they were. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone requiring assistance in their estate planning.

Contacted Madison Sloan Lawyers to update my own Will after the passing of my beloved Mum. They made the process very easy, super friendly, amendments and questions were answered with ease, detail and patience to ensure I understood all technicalities. Very thorough in their approach and understanding of my requests. Would have no hesitation in recommending them as the "go to Girls" when Estate Planning and Will Preparation is needed. Thank you so much Ladies.

What is an Estate Plan?

An Estate Plan goes beyond a simple Will. It considers your family, business and trust structures, superannuation, and the legacy you wish to leave behind. It includes documents such as your Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker, Advance Care Directive and Binding Death Nomination.

Do I need more than just a Will?

Yes. While a Will addresses what happens after your death, it’s equally important to have documents in place in case you lose capacity during your lifetime. An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to designate someone to handle legal, financial, and personal matters on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

What is a Testamentary Trust?

A Testamentary Trust is a trust established under your Will that comes into effect upon your death. It offers significant asset protection and tax benefits for your beneficiaries and is particularly useful for blended families, beneficiaries with disabilities, or those in high-risk professions.

What is a Binding Death Benefit Nomination?

A Binding Death Benefit Nomination directs your superannuation fund to pay your death benefit to specific beneficiaries. Superannuation does not automatically form part of your estate, so having a current, valid nomination is a critical component of any Estate Plan.
