Wills, Estate Planning & Deceased Estates

Making a will?

Estate planning is an important part of securing your financial future and ensuring that your assets and property are distributed according to your wishes. Our experienced lawyers can help you prepare a comprehensive estate plan and assist you with the preparation of a Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, Enduring Power of Guardianship, Testamentary Trusts, and Advanced Health Directives.

Inheritance Disputes

In Western Australia, eligible persons can contest a Will by making what is called a family provision claim if they have been left without adequate provision from a deceased estate. If you are considering contesting a will, or require advice or representation, we encourage you to contact us for a free initial consultation to find out more about the process of challenging or defending a Will in court.

Application for Grant of Probate

Probate is the process of registering and proving the Will of a deceased person. We’re here to offer you practical advice about your appointment as executor and completing the administration of an estate. This can be a complex area of law, which is why we are here to guide you throughout the whole process with delicate care.

Application for Letters of Administration

The Administration of an Estate occurs when there is no legal Will or there are assets that have not been disposed of via a Will. Where a person has died without leaving a valid Will the Court may grant Letters of Administration to an appropriate person who will usually be a beneficiary of the deceased's estate. Applying for administration can be a complex and time-consuming process, but with the help of our experienced lawyers, we can ensure a smooth guided process from start to finish.

Advice in Estate Administration

When someone dies, the person responsible for administrating the estate of the deceased is the executor/administrator. Dealing with the estate administration process can be a difficult time, especially after the recent loss of a loved one. The process and procedures can often be daunting, especially as most people have never acted as an executor/administrator. Let our lawyers ensure that the management of your loved one’s estate is handled efficiently and effectively.
