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 Roxburgh Park 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.
Residents of Roxburgh Park often need to sort out a will when someone has passed away or become seriously unwell, or when their own circumstances change—a new partner, children, property acquired, or simply because an old will no longer reflects what they want. The first practical step is to gather any existing will, recent bank and property statements, details of superannuation and insurance, and a list of who you want to benefit and in what way. If there's already been a death and no clear will, or a will that raises questions, collect the paperwork left behind and notes about what the deceased owned and owed. These details help us understand what needs to happen next.
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.
