Wills and estates
Make sure your wishes are followed
A clear, well-drafted will is the best way to make sure your assets go to the people you choose, and to reduce the risk of someone challenging your estate. Powers of attorney and guardianship documents mean the right people can make decisions for you if you can’t.
We take the time to understand your family, your assets and your wishes, then prepare documents that reflect them accurately. When the time comes, we help your executors through probate and the administration of your estate.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a will cost?
Our fees are fixed and quoted upfront. Use our instant quote to see the price for your will, powers of attorney or guardianship documents.
What’s the difference between a power of attorney and an enduring power of attorney?
A general power of attorney lets someone make financial and legal decisions for you, but it ends if you lose mental capacity. An enduring power of attorney continues after you lose capacity, which is why it’s a key part of most estate plans.
What is an enduring guardian?
In NSW, an enduring guardian is someone you appoint to make lifestyle, health and medical decisions for you if you lose capacity. Other states use different names and documents for the same role, and we prepare the right one for where you live.
Do my executors need probate?
Often, yes. Banks, share registries and land titles offices usually require probate before they will deal with a deceased person’s assets, though it depends on the assets involved. In NSW, probate is granted by the Supreme Court.
What if someone died without a valid will?
Someone, usually a close relative, will need to apply for letters of administration so the estate can be managed and distributed. We can help with the application.
