Wills and Estate Planning
If you want to plan for your loved ones and family, then the preparation of a legally binding will is an important part in that process. A will prepared by a legal professional lessens the stress and money involved at a time which will undoubtedly be difficult for your family and loved ones.
At Paul Hardwick Lawyer we can help
- Prepare a will that reflects your wishes
- Advise in relation to estate and probate laws
- If appropriate, set up family and testamentary trusts
- Advise in relation to choosing executors and guardians
- Minimise the chance of the will being contested and subject to litigation
Power of Attorney and Guardian documents
We also strongly recommend that you put in place plans for possible future incapacity through Power of Attorney and Guardian documents. This will ensure that you are the one to make the decision as to who will be the ones you trust to make decisions in relation to finance, medical treatment or living arrangements if you are unable to do so.
Deceased Estates and Probate
If you have the responsibility of dealing with an estate then this can be quite a difficult time; dealing with the paperwork, family issues and unfamiliar terminology; all at a time when you are grieving as well.
At Paul Hardwick Lawyer we can assist you with:
- Applying for Probate
- Assistance with claims against the estate
- Defending claims against the estate
- Letters of administration ( in the event that there is no will or that it is deemed invalid)
- Supreme Court litigation
- Family Provision issues
