Cleary Law

Based in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, Cleary Law is dedicated to empowering clients with the knowledge and resources to plan for unforeseen circumstances. The firm prides itself on offering expert and affordable legal advice with a personal touch, including a convenient mobile service where the principal solicitor visits clients in their homes, even on weekends and after hours. Cleary Law focuses on wills and estate planning, succession and elder law, powers of attorney and enduring guardianship, estates and will disputes, property law and conveyancing, as well as commercial and retail leasing. The firm is committed to keeping clients well-informed and providing practical legal solutions to protect their long-term interests. For those facing estate and will disputes, Cleary Law offers guidance on options such as negotiating with executors for a further legacy or challenging the will if it was improperly drafted, executed under questionable circumstances, or if the will maker lacked mental capacity. Executors, co-executors, or trustees experiencing difficulties with family or beneficiaries can also rely on the firm's considerable experience in estate dispute resolution to defend their interests. In the realm of property law and conveyancing, Cleary Law streamlines the process for both buying and selling. The firm manages the entire conveyancing process, from preparing and reviewing contracts to arranging legal searches and finalising mortgages, ensuring clients are kept informed every step of the way. Their comprehensive service extends to the meticulous handling of legal transactions for property sales, safeguarding clients' rights and ensuring a smooth progression to settlement. Commercial and retail leasing is another area where Cleary Law excels, providing crucial legal advice to help clients understand lease contracts and ensuring all obligations are met, including tax considerations like GST. The firm meticulously verifies lease details, negotiates amendments, and handles activity related to stamping and registration, thus assisting businesses in navigating the complexities of leasing agreements. Recognising the necessity of a will for anyone with property or superannuation, Cleary Law offers seasoned advice on estate planning to ensure assets are distributed according to clients' wishes. The firm assists clients in legalising their intentions affordably and conveniently, often through home visits to discuss and complete necessary documentation. Planning ahead with powers of attorney and enduring guardianship is another service offered, providing clients peace of mind by arranging for trusted individuals to make decisions on their behalf if needed. This is especially important for those with elderly parents, young children, or those at risk of illness. Cleary Law helps clients explore their options and establish these crucial legal appointments while they are still able to make such decisions.
