Wills and Estates Lawyers in Ashfield
Our Ashfield wills and estates lawyers help clients plan for incapacity, document their wishes, administer estates and respond to estate disputes.
Estate planning should reflect your life, assets and responsibilities
A will is an important part of an estate plan, but it may not control every asset. Superannuation, jointly owned property, trusts and company interests can require separate consideration. We help clients understand how the pieces fit together.
After a death, executors and families may need help identifying assets, obtaining probate or administration, paying liabilities and distributing the estate. Where disagreement arises, early advice can clarify rights, duties and applicable time limits.

Frequently asked questions
What estate planning documents may be relevant?
Depending on your circumstances, a plan may include a will, enduring power of attorney and appointment of enduring guardian. Other asset or business arrangements may also need review.
Can you assist after someone dies?
Yes. We assist executors and families with probate, letters of administration, estate administration and advice about potential disputes.
Should an existing will be reviewed?
A review may be appropriate after a marriage, separation, death in the family, property transaction, business change or significant change in assets or intended beneficiaries.
What if someone died without a will?
The estate may be distributed under intestacy rules and an eligible person may need to apply for letters of administration. The appropriate steps depend on the family and asset circumstances.
