The law relating to matrimonial and de facto relationship disputes is especially complex and ever changing.

Wills & Estate Law
Ensuring that your Will reflects your desire for what is to happen to your children and your property upon your death is very important. Many events in your life can lead to a need to update your Will, including marriage, separation, divorce, change in financial circumstances or the birth of a child. If you do not have a Will or if your Will needs to be updated, please contact us to make an appointment for the preparation of a new Will.
An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to give someone you trust the power to make financial decisions and also personal and/or health decisions on your behalf in the event that you lose the capacity to make those decisions for yourself. You can nominate one or more Attorneys and specify when their power will begin. You can give your Attorney/s the authority to make any decision that you could legally make yourself or limit the Attorney/s powers to terms set by you. If you require an appointment for the preparation of an Enduring Power of Attorney, please contact us.
Your Appointment
When you come in to see one of our lawyers, it helps if you are prepared. We like to know a little bit about you before you sit down with us for the first time. That’s why we have intake forms. These forms help you think about the information we will need you to give us, ahead of the appointment. You might even be able to bring some paperwork in with you. For married and de facto couples, you can find our intake form, assets and liabilities table and a list of documents* you may wish to collate before your appointment below under “Family Law”. If we have all of that information at your first appointment, we can give you an estimate of what you might receive in your final property settlement.
We also have separate intake forms for Wills and Estate matters. We understand your time is precious, and we aim to get you in and out as quickly as practically possible. By having some information in advance, we can prepare before we meet with you.
*Please note that it is not essential to bring all of this information to your first appointment. We can still give you a rough estimate of your entitlement without it. It is more important to get legal advice early, so you know what steps you can take to protect yourself.
