Wills Lawyers in Sydney & NSW
Don’t leave your loved ones guessing. A valid & up-to-date will is the foundation of a solid estate plan. It allows you to clearly specify how your assets, including real estate, investments, and personal belongings, will be distributed after your passing. It also enables you to appoint a trusted executor to oversee the administration of your estate, ensuring your wishes are carried out smoothly.
Our experienced wills and estate lawyers can guide you through the process and help you create a will that is tailored to your unique circumstances. We’ll work closely with you to understand your goals and ensure your wishes are clearly articulated and legally binding, whether you need a simple will or a more complex estate planning solution, such as a testamentary trust.
Key elements of a comprehensive will include:
- Naming a trusted executor to manage your estate matters efficiently.
- Specifying how your assets will be distributed to your loved ones, exactly as you wish.
- Appointing enduring guardians to care for any minor children in your absence, providing peace of mind.
- Establishing a testamentary trust (if needed) to protect assets and provide for beneficiaries in a tax-effective manner.
By working with our wills and estate lawyers, you can have peace of mind knowing that your will is valid and legally sound. Your loved ones will be taken care of according to your wishes, avoiding any potential confusion or delays during a difficult time.

Estate Planning Lawyers
Don’t just write a will, create a comprehensive estate plan. In addition to a will, a comprehensive estate plan may include other important documents, such as an enduring power of attorney and an enduring guardianship. These legal documents can help protect your interests and ensure your wishes are carried out if you ever lose the capacity to make decisions for yourself.
- Enduring Power of Attorney: This document allows you to appoint a trusted individual, known as an attorney, to manage your financial affairs on your behalf. This can be particularly useful if you become incapacitated due to illness or injury.
- Enduring Guardianship: An enduring guardianship, on the other hand, authorises someone to make decisions about your personal and healthcare matters if you are unable to do so yourself. This can include decisions about where you live, what medical treatment you receive, and other lifestyle choices.
Our wills and estate lawyers can guide you through the process of establishing these important documents, ensuring they are legally valid and tailored to your specific needs. By including these additional documents in your estate plan, you can provide even greater peace of mind for yourself and your loved ones.
Estate Administration Lawyers
When a loved one passes away, navigating their estate can be a complex and emotionally-charged process. Our experienced wills and estate lawyers in Sydney can guide you through this challenging time, ensuring their final wishes are carried out smoothly.
We specialise in all aspects of estate administration, including:
- Identifying and securing the deceased’s assets so nothing is overlooked.
- Notifying relevant authorities and organisations to ensure a smooth transition.
- Paying outstanding debts and taxes to avoid any complications.
- Distributing the estate to the rightful beneficiaries according to the deceased’s wishes.
- Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents with the Supreme Court of NSW to finalise the estate efficiently.
If the deceased person did not have a will, or if the will is challenged, our experienced family lawyers can also help navigate the complex process of intestacy and family provision claims. We’ll advise you on your rights and responsibilities as the administrator of the estate, ensuring the deceased’s final wishes are respected, even in difficult situations.

Will Disputes & Family Provision Claims
In some cases, disputes may arise over the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. This could be due to a challenge to the validity of the will, or a family member’s belief that they have not been adequately provided for.
Our wills and estate lawyers in Sydney are highly experienced in estate litigation, and can help you navigate these complex situations. We can help you understand your rights and obligations if you are involved in a will dispute or need to make a family provision claim.
We can assist you with various estate disputes, including:
- Challenging the validity of a will on grounds such as:
- Lack of testamentary capacity (the deceased’s ability to understand the will)
- Undue influence (someone pressuring the deceased to change their will)
- Fraud or forgery (the will being fake or altered)
- Making a family provision claim if you believe you have been unfairly excluded from the will.
Our litigation lawyers will work closely with you to gather the necessary evidence and ensure your case is presented effectively to the Supreme Court of NSW.
Remember, strict time limits apply for challenging a will or making a family provision claim. So, it’s important to seek legal advice from our experienced team as soon as possible.
Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship
In addition to wills and estate planning, our lawyers can also help you with other crucial legal documents that can protect your interests and wishes:
- Enduring Power of Attorney: This document allows you to appoint a trusted individual to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to do so yourself due to illness, injury, or other reasons.
- Enduring Guardianship: An enduring guardianship, on the other hand, authorises someone you choose to make decisions about your personal and healthcare matters if you cannot. This includes where you live, medical treatment, and other lifestyle choices.
Our wills and estate lawyers are experts in setting up these important legal documents. We can provide personalised advice on the best way to structure them to ensure your wishes are respected, even if you lose decision-making capacity in the future.
