Wills, Estates & Trusts

Our wills, estates and trusts team will equip you with the tools, solutions, and documentation needed to plan for the future and will assist personal representatives to carry out your wishes.

Estate Planning

Our estate planning lawyers can help you plan for incapacity and death and provide peace of mind for you and your family.  We regularly assist with:

  • Wills
  • Powers of Attorney
  • Representation Agreements
  • Committeeship Applications
  • Trusts

Estate Administration

If you are an executor or administrator of an estate, our estate administration department can help you navigate the complicated process of applying for a representation grant and administration of the estate.

  • Obtaining probate, including applying for grants of letters probate
  • Navigating intestacy (where a person has died without a will), including applying for grants of letters of administration
  • Preparing executor’s accounts and releases
  • Advice to beneficiaries in relation to accounts and releases
  • Advice regarding the transfer of assets to beneficiaries, including the transmission of real property

If you are or should be a beneficiary of an estate and are not satisfied with the administration of the estate by its executor or administrator, our estate litigation team can assist you with challenging the distribution of the estate, varying the will or contesting the will.
