Family & Estate Law
Family law cases are often delicate and complicated and can result in both financial and emotional turmoil if not settled appropriately. We understand the complexity of your needs and will work compassionately and tactifully with you to protect your interests and achieve a satisfactory and efficient outcome.
The state government has a scale set in legislation which dictates who receives your estate no matter where you or your family would like it to go and no matter whether any of your family might need assistance, be entitled to repayment (which is undocumented) or deserves less for good reason. Without a will, awakward and difficult situations may arise regarding the distribution of your estate, and your wish may not be fulfilled. It is therefore wise to set up a will when you are young which you can then forget about, unless you would like to make changes later in life.
