Wills, Estates & Disputes
Planning for your family’s future is important. Planning for your family’s future when you are gone, is incredibly important. Having a clear plan for your assets can save your family stress and money at a time that will be very difficult for them. Discussing your desired plans with an experienced lawyer can give you the security that your estate is protected, any unforeseen taxes avoided and most importantly anticipate any conflicts that can arise.
Shead Lawyers believes that a Will should be developed or updated whenever you experience life stage changes (purchase of property, partnering, having children, relationship changes, retirement etc.) or changes in your asset pool. While developing a plan for the future of your assets, we strongly recommend that you consider plans in the event of any future incapacity through Power of Attorney and Guardianship documents. This will give you the peace of mind, in the event you are unable to make decisions, that your finances, living arrangements and medical treatment will be managed by the people you trust and in accordance with your wishes.
Shead Lawyers has extensive experience with Wills, Probate and Administration of Estates and Estate Disputes. These services include:
Preparation of Wills, Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship
Estate Planning and Trusts
Testamentary, Protective and Special Disability Trusts
