The significance of effective planning for your Will and Estate
Proper wills and estate planning goes beyond drafting a will; it involves a comprehensive strategy to protect your assets, provide for your loved ones, and ensure your legacy.
Key components of effective estate planning include:
A Living Will: This outlines your medical wishes in case you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions for yourself. It is also known as an ‘Advance Healthcare Directive’.
Trusts: Creating a trust can help you manage and distribute assets efficiently. It may also reduce tax liabilities and avoid probate.
Power of Attorney: Designating a trusted person as your Power of Attorney allows them to handle financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you cannot do so.

Our Wills and Estates Lawyer services and expertise sets us apart
Direct Lawyers stands out as a boutique firm with a niche focus on:
Estate planning involves deciding what happens to your assets if you pass away or lose capacity.
A well-prepared estate plan can ease the process for your family members, helping to avoid delays and stress.
Key questions to consider include:
Is your Will up to date?
Would a testamentary trust protect against family court issues, bankruptcy, or reduce taxes?
Who will manage your finances, personal matters, and health decisions if you’re unable? Do you need an Enduring Power of Attorney?
Without a clear plan, loved ones may need to guess your wishes, and what you intend may not be followed.
When someone close to you passes, the Executor is responsible for locating beneficiaries and carrying out the deceased's wishes.
An executor is appointed in the Will.
This role involves questions like:
How do I meet my legal duties?
How do I apply for probate?
Which debts and assets should I handle first?
This process can be stressful, and without guidance, Executors may struggle to fulfil the deceased’s wishes.
If someone passes without a Will (dying intestate), you may apply to become the Administrator. This allows you to distribute assets according to a set legal formula.
Estate litigation often involves Family Provision Applications (FPA), where someone claims they were inadequately provided for in a Will.
We advise both those who feel unfairly excluded and those defending the estate from an FPA.
Litigation also includes applications to make financial, personal, or health decisions for someone who has lost capacity.
This process requires the appointment of an Administrator or Guardian, sometimes through the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT).
Estate litigation covers various issues. If you believe there has been an injustice with an estate, we’re here to provide the guidance and support you need.
