Estate Planning

At Harrisonslaw, we provide comprehensive guidance on wills and estate planning, ensuring that your property and assets are managed according to your wishes after your death. Our approach covers the preparation of Wills that nominate executors and guardians, as well as the drafting of Enduring Powers of Attorney to address financial and personal decision-making should you become incapacitated. We focus on aligning your estate planning with your broader circumstances, including trusts, business succession, and superannuation interests, while exploring tax-effective strategies to protect your estate and beneficiaries. Our expertise extends to estate administration following a loved one's passing, assisting executors and administrators through the complexities of gathering, protecting, and distributing assets. We handle the processes required for obtaining Grants of Representation and managing disputes, asset transfers, and taxation affairs related to the estate. By working closely with you and relevant parties, we ensure that estate matters are resolved efficiently and in compliance with legal requirements, providing clarity and peace of mind during a challenging time.
