Estate Planning and Administration
One of the most thoughtful steps you can take for your family, is to ensure your wishes are clearly documented in case anything happens to you. This could involve creating a will to manage your assets after you pass away, setting up powers of attorney to appoint someone to act on your behalf during your lifetime, or establishing a trust to protect your assets and ensure they are passed on according to your intentions.
We are here to guide you through this process and ensure that everything is in place, giving your family peace of mind during what may be a challenging time. In addition, we can assist with estate administration, providing support and guidance when a loved one has passed.

Relationship Property
Pre-nuptial agreements can be a practical step when entering a new relationship, especially if both partners bring separate assets or have children from previous relationships. An agreement can clarify how those assets will be managed in the event of a separation or if one partner passes away, providing clarity and peace of mind for everyone involved.
If your relationship ends and you need to divide your assets, we can help ensure you understand your rights and formalise the division with a binding agreement.
Our relationship property services include:
Pre-Nuptial Relationship Property Agreements
Relationship Property Agreements settling division of assets following Separation
We’re here to help you protect your interests and provide clarity in your relationship.
