Wills, enduring powers of attorney, advance health directives, estate planning, and probate — for Brisbane families, professionals, and business owners who want it done properly, the first time.
If you die without a will in Queensland, the Succession Act decides who gets what — and the answer is almost never the answer you’d have chosen.
New children, separated, married, sold the business, bought a house. Your will should reflect the life you’re living now — not the one you had in 2014.
Stepchildren, prior relationships, a private company, a discretionary trust — these are exactly the situations a templated will gets badly wrong.
Probate, gathering the estate, dealing with beneficiaries who don’t agree. You want a calm hand to walk you through it.
Even if you don’t engage us, the call is worth your time. Here’s exactly what you’ll have by the end of it.
We tell you what we actually think — including whether you need a lawyer at all, and whether we’re the right one for this matter.
A written summary of what we’d do, in what order, and what you should do first — whether or not you engage us.
If it makes sense for us to do the work, we send a fixed-fee quote (or a clearly capped scope) by the end of the call. No “we’ll get back to you.”
Rewrote our wills around a blended family and a trading company. Plain English, no jargon — finally understood it.
Walked me through probate after dad passed. What looked overwhelming felt manageable inside a week.
Set up a testamentary trust that actually protects what we’ve built. Honest, calm advice.
Client names withheld for confidentiality. Available on request.
Every paragraph of advice carries its weight. Plain English. Trade-offs surfaced early. We tell you what we’d do if it were our matter.
Work is measured in outcomes, not in hours billed. We pick the shortest credible path to a good result — not the most thorough-looking one.
Transparent fees. Same-day acknowledgements. Plain-English correspondence. You should never open an invoice and be surprised.
Scope is agreed before any work starts. You’ll receive a written engagement letter with a fixed fee (or capped scope, for open-ended matters) before you commit.
A few lines via the form below. We acknowledge the same business day.
An honest read, clear next steps, and a fixed-fee quote if it makes sense.
Written scope, fixed fee. Nothing starts until you sign off in writing.
Delivered, walked through with you in plain English, and the file is closed cleanly.
A standard will and EPOA combination is a fixed fee starting at $750 plus GST. Complex estates — testamentary trusts, business interests, blended families — sit between $1,500 and $4,000, quoted in writing before we begin.
For a straightforward will, we go from first call to signed document inside two weeks. Complex matters take longer — because they should.
An EPOA appoints someone to act for you while you’re alive but unable (financial or health decisions). An AHD records your specific wishes for end-of-life and serious medical decisions. Most clients have both.
Not always. Testamentary trusts are useful for tax planning, asset protection, and providing for beneficiaries who shouldn’t take outright control. We’ll tell you honestly whether yours is one of those situations.
We’ll come back the same business day with a time. The call is free, has no obligation, and you’ll walk away with clear next steps either way.
