Wills

We offer a range of services to help you through the process of drafting a will and ensuring it is both effective and valid.

Having Alexander Law draft your will for you is as simple as completing a short online questionnaire. Once we have received your completed questionnaire, one of our experienced wills and estates lawyers will contact you.

Contested Estates

We understand that sometimes disputes which arise following the passing of a loved one lead to an estate being contested. We provide a professional and compassionate service to both executors, beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries when the fairness and equitability of a will is contested. Our lawyers offer expert advice in the three main areas of disputes including: challenging the validity of a will, claiming further provision from an estate and challenging a transaction. We are also able to provide advice in situations where, for a variety of reasons, the deceased has not left a will.

Estate Planning

We provide expert estate planning advice to ensure your assets are protected and can help you develop a detailed estate plan to support your beneficiaries and create favourable tax outcomes. Our lawyers have extensive experience and knowledge in estate planning and will work with both you and your external financial advisors. We can provide financial peace of mind for you and your family, ensuring your loved ones are taken care of in the event of your death or incapacitation.

Probate & Estate Administration

We understand that losing a loved one can be a difficult time and wish to make the estate administration process as simple as possible. Legal issues can often arise in the administration of a deceased’s estate and our lawyers will provide their expert advice to ease the burden in times of difficulty. Probate letters are usually required before estate administration can progress. We can assist you with obtaining these letters from the courts as well as providing support and advice with all other matters regarding probate and estate administration.

Powers of Attorney

Foreseeing the need for a power of attorney is a key aspect in the preparation of an estate plan and ensures an appropriate attorney is acting on your behalf should you become incapacitated. Appointing a power of attorney ensures a person/s of your choice will look after your affairs if circumstances arise where you are unable to make decisions yourself. There are various type of power of attorney available and Alexander Law can offer advice for all aspects including selecting appropriate powers of attorney and deciding when you would like the enduring power of attorney to commence.
