Whether you are the executor of an estate, a family member who has been left out of a will, or someone finally getting their own affairs in order, we act for people in Meadow Heights and across Melbourne's north.
Three quite different jobs sit under this heading. Making a will and a power of attorney is the straightforward one, and the cheapest thing you will ever do to save your family trouble. Administering an estate — applying for a grant of probate or letters of administration, then calling in assets, paying debts and distributing — is procedural work with real deadlines. Contesting a will, or defending one, is litigation: in Victoria an eligible person can bring a family provision claim, and the time limit runs from the grant, so it is short. We do all three, and we will tell you plainly which one you are actually in.
In Meadow Heights, people often come to us after someone has passed away and the family isn't sure what happens next—or because they want to make sure their own affairs are in order before something happens. You might have inherited something and need to work out the legal process, or you're the one who'll be managing things for others. The first step is usually to gather what paperwork exists: any will, funeral wishes, bank details, property information, and a list of who might have a claim or interest. We can look at what you've found and work through what needs to happen from there.
Tell us where the estate stands. We'll set out what has to happen, in what order, and what it will cost.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
