An Estate Plan is More Than Just a Will
Many people believe a Will is all they need. However, a Will only takes effect after you die. It does nothing to protect you if you lose the capacity to make decisions for yourself due to illness or injury.
A comprehensive estate plan protects you during your lifetime & after. It combines your Will with an Enduring Power of Attorney for your finances & an Enduring Guardianship for your health. Our lawyers create a holistic plan that leaves no gaps in your protection.
The Cost of Not Planning Ahead
Without a proper estate plan, your assets can be frozen if you lose capacity. Your family would be forced into a stressful & costly application to a tribunal just to manage your affairs or make medical decisions.
After you pass away, not having a clear plan can lead to devastating family disputes & costly legal battles that can drain the inheritance you leave behind. Our expert planning eliminates that risk, providing a clear, legally-binding roadmap that protects your assets & your family.

NSW Estate Planning FAQs
What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the holistic process of structuring how your assets will be managed and protected both during your lifetime (if you become unable to make decisions) and after your death.
What’s the difference between a Will and an Estate Plan?
A Will is a single document that outlines how your assets are distributed after you die. An Estate Plan is a comprehensive strategy that includes your Will, but also crucial documents like Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianships for managing your affairs while you’re still alive.
What does a typical Estate Plan include?
A standard Estate Plan includes a Will, an Enduring Power of Attorney (for financial decisions), and an Appointment of Enduring Guardian (for health and lifestyle decisions). It can also include more complex structures like Testamentary Trusts.
Why is an Enduring Power of Attorney important?
An Enduring Power of Attorney allows a person you trust to manage your financial and legal affairs on your behalf if you lose the mental capacity to do so yourself. It provides crucial protection while you are alive.
What is an Appointment of Enduring Guardian?
This legal document authorises a person you appoint to make lifestyle and healthcare decisions for you, such as where you live and what medical treatment you receive, if you become unable to make those decisions.
What is a Testamentary Trust?
A Testamentary Trust is a trust created within your Will that comes into effect after your death. It can provide significant asset protection for your beneficiaries against claims from creditors or relationship breakdowns, and may offer tax benefits.
When should I create or review my Estate Plan?
You should review your Estate Plan after any major life event, such as a marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant change in financial circumstances, or if a nominated Executor or Guardian can no longer act.
Are jointly owned assets covered by my Will?
Not always. Assets owned as ‘joint tenants’ (like a family home) automatically pass to the surviving owner and are not controlled by your Will. A lawyer can advise on how to structure ownership to match your intentions.
Why do I need a lawyer for Estate Planning?
An experienced estate planning lawyer in Sydney ensures all documents are legally valid, identifies potential risks you may not have considered, and provides strategic advice on asset protection and tax implications. This holistic approach prevents costly disputes for your family later on.
