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: Also known as an advance healthcare directive, a living will outlines your medical wishes in case you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions for yourself.
Trusts: Creating trusts can help you manage and distribute assets efficiently, while also potentially reducing tax liabilities and avoiding probate.
Power of Attorney: Designating a trusted person as your power of attorney allows them to make financial and legal decisions and act on your behalf if you're unable to do so.

Our Wills and Estates Lawyer services and expertise sets us apart
Direct Lawyers stands out as a boutique mobile wills and estates law firm with a niche focus on:
Estate planning describes the decisions to make on what happens to your assets after you die or lose capacity. Quality estate planning will lead to a faster and less stressful process of Estate Administration for your family and friends. It asks questions such as:
Is your Will up to date?
Do you want to provide family court protection, bankruptcy protection and tax minimisation through a testamentary trust?
Who will be in control of your financial, personal and health decisions if you were to lose capacity? Do you need an Enduring Power of Attorney?
Without a proper estate plan, those people close to you may have to ‘guess’ the answers to questions like these, and your wishes may not be acted upon.
This process begins upon the death of someone close to you, who may have appointed you as Executor. An Executor will be in charge of obtaining the Will, locating the beneficiaries and acting on the wishes of the deceased. It involves the following questions:
How do I fulfil my legal duties as Executor?
How do I apply for probate and what do I do next?
What debts should I pay first? What assets should I distribute first?
This process can be very stressful for an Executor, who may act in a way that does not reflect the wishes of the deceased.
Alternatively, if someone close to you has died without a will, this is called dying Intestate. You may be eligible to be appointed Administrator and distribute their estate according to a set formula.
Most often, litigation that arises out of an estate is the result of the filing of a Family Provision Application (FPA). In short, an FPA argues that a person has not been sufficiently provided for by a deceased estate. We provide advice to those who feel as though they have been unfairly left out of a Will, as well as to those who are seeking to defend the estate from an FPA.
This area also includes applications to make financial or personal/health decisions on behalf of someone who has lost capacity. This is referred to as the appointment of an Administrator and Guardian, which can be difficult and usually means an attendance to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT).
Estate litigation can cover a wide range of issues, but if you feel as though there has been an injustice with regards to an estate, we can provide you with advice on the process, and your prospects of success.
