Estate planning

Estate planning

Sometimes a simple Will isn't enough. To protect your legacy, it's important to get the right advice and plan properly.

Estate planning is about developing a strategy to deal with assets you own or control in a way that will minimise tax, protect your family and preserve your legacy after you die. 

We’ll help you understand how your assets and entities will be dealt with when you die and prepare documents you need to carry out to your wishes.

If you have a business, family trust or SMSF, this may include preparing a written estate plan to help your family understand your affairs. 

Estate planning advice is also helpful for blended families or if you wish to leave someone out of your Will. We’ll use an estate planning conference to discuss your options ahead of preparing your Will. 

If you’re unsure which service is right for you, read this information sheet, use our online tool to Find your solution or contact us.
