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 Wollert 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.
Wollert households often find themselves needing a will when life gets busier—a new home, young children, a business interest, or simply reaching a point where it feels right to put things in order. Many people come in because a family member has recently passed away and they're navigating what happens next: sorting through documents, working out who gets what, and understanding what needs to happen formally. Others want to make sure their wishes are clear and documented properly so their family isn't left guessing. Start by gathering what you have—deeds, bank statements, superannuation details, any earlier wills or family agreements. A lawyer can walk through the practical side with you: what a will actually does, what probate involves if needed, and how to structure things in a way that fits your family and circumstances.
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.
