Our Wills and Estates Services
Comprehensive Estate Planning A well-structured estate plan minimises the risk of future disputes and ensures your assets are distributed exactly as you intended. Your dedicated estate planning lawyer will draft Simple and Complex Wills, including those involving Testamentary Discretionary Trusts for blended families or high-net-worth individuals. We also prepare Enduring Powers of Attorney to appoint trusted individuals to manage your financial and personal affairs if you lose capacity, and Advance Health Directives to clearly document your medical treatment wishes.
Estate Administration and Probate Following the loss of a loved one, the legal process of managing their estate can be overwhelming. Our probate lawyers on the Gold Coast provide the steady hand needed to move forward. We handle Probate Applications to obtain the Court’s validation of a Will, assist families with Letters of Administration when a loved one passes without a valid Will, and guide Executors through their fiduciary duties from asset collection through to final distribution.
Estate Disputes and Litigation When disagreements arise over the validity of a Will or the fairness of its distribution, we provide vigorous representation. We help eligible persons pursue Family Provision claims, contest Wills based on lack of capacity or undue influence, and advise on disputes involving the removal of an Executor or breaches of duty.
[!WARNING] Dying Without a Current Will Leaves Your Family Exposed Marriage and divorce automatically revoke your existing Will under Queensland law. Without an up-to-date Will, the Succession Act’s intestacy rules apply, potentially forcing the sale of the family home or excluding de facto partners and step-children from your estate entirely.
