Wills & Probate Services

Expert Wills and Estate Planning

At R&J Lawyers, we understand the importance of planning for the future and ensuring your assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes. Our experienced team provides comprehensive wills and probate services to give you peace of mind that your estate will be handled properly.

Will Preparation

Having a properly drafted will is essential to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. Our experienced lawyers will help you create a comprehensive, legally binding will that clearly outlines your intentions and minimizes the potential for disputes. We take the time to understand your unique circumstances and provide tailored advice on how to protect your assets and provide for your loved ones.

Estate Planning

Effective estate planning goes beyond a simple will. Our comprehensive estate planning services help you create a strategy that considers tax implications, complex family structures, business succession planning, and asset protection. We work with you to develop a plan that ensures your wealth is preserved and transferred according to your wishes while minimizing potential conflicts and tax burdens for your beneficiaries.

Power of Attorney & Medical Directives

Preparing for unexpected events is an important part of comprehensive estate planning. We assist clients in establishing powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives that ensure your financial affairs and healthcare decisions will be handled according to your wishes if you become unable to make decisions for yourself. These legal documents provide peace of mind that your interests will be protected during challenging times.

Probate and Estate Administration

When a loved one passes away, navigating the probate process can be overwhelming during an already difficult time. Our lawyers provide compassionate guidance through the probate process, helping executors fulfill their legal duties and administer the estate efficiently. We handle applications for probate or letters of administration, assist with asset collection and distribution, manage estate tax obligations, and ensure all legal requirements are met.

Contesting a Will

If you believe a will does not adequately provide for you or there are concerns about its validity, we can advise you on your rights to contest the will. Our experienced lawyers will assess your case, explain the grounds for contesting a will under Australian law, and represent your interests throughout the process, seeking a fair resolution while being mindful of preserving family relationships where possible.
