It is vital for one to have their affairs in order and that your estate is preserved during your lifetime. Shaddicks lawyers are specialists in the field of wills and estate planning and as such will give you the full attention that these matters deserve. By preparing your will without the professional insight we offer, you may be missing vital pieces of information for a legally binding will.
We ensure that your estate passes to your beneficiaries:
- In the most tax-effective manner possible
- With flexibility of management
- Whilst providing protection for vulnerable loved ones3
Stephen Hahn and
Don Shaddick are our experts when it comes to wills and estate planning, with Don having recently completed a Master’s in estate planning.
Ask us how your will can help with the following:
- Protecting vulnerable children
- Helping your spouse qualify for a pension
- Providing valuable tax minimisation for your family
- Providing for future generations
- Addressing uncomfortable second marriage issues
Unfortunately, there is sometimes a conflict between the wishes of the Will maker and the needs of certain family members. In cases where a relative or dependant of a deceased person feels that proper provision has not been made for him or her in the Will, that person may be entitled to make a family provision claim under the Succession Act for provision (or further provision) out of the estate.
This can often be quite emotional and uncomfortable, so we are able to resolve these matters promptly through mediation, saving substantial court expenses.
