Services
Wills
We create legally binding wills tailored to your specific circumstances, ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Our packages cater to simple estates through to complex arrangements involving trusts, blended families, and vulnerable beneficiaries. All wills are drafted by specialist lawyers with unlimited amendments during preparation.
Enduring Power of Attorney
This document appoints someone to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. We ensure proper legal execution and registration with Landgate where required. Our service includes comprehensive guidance on choosing appropriate attorneys and defining their scope of authority.
Advance Health Directive
Plan your future healthcare preferences with legally binding instructions for medical treatment. We help document your wishes regarding life-sustaining measures and palliative care, ensuring your voice remains heard even if you cannot communicate directly during critical times.
Probate
We guide executors through the legal process of validating wills and administering estates. Our services include court applications, asset distribution, and compliance with Western Australian succession laws. Starting from $1,100, we handle estates of varying complexity with transparent pricing.
Testamentary Trusts
Create sophisticated estate plans that protect beneficiaries through tax-effective structures. Our specialist lawyers design trusts for vulnerable individuals, blended families, and business owners, ensuring long-term financial security while minimising tax liabilities for future generations.
