About us

Hobart Law Pty Ltd, trading as PDB Lawyers, is dedicated exclusively to all aspects of Wills and Estates. Our firm provides comprehensive services from planning to litigation, ensuring clients receive all necessary guidance during the challenging times following the death of a loved one. Led by Peter, our team offers realistic and effective advice on minimising the risk of claims against an estate when making a will and provides expert counsel during estate-related litigation. Our practice encompasses the full spectrum of succession law. We prepare wills suited for estates of any size, from straightforward to highly complex, guaranteeing that your family is protected from unnecessary financial or legal issues. Our team advises on legal and practical implications of your wishes, ensuring your will remains current with any changes in personal circumstances or law. For clients with complicated family situations or needing tax-efficient estate planning, we specialise in designing testamentary trusts tailored to safeguard assets and create tax advantages for beneficiaries. In terms of financial and legal affairs management, we assist with the preparation of general, specific, and enduring powers of attorney, as well as appointments of enduring guardians. This ensures that your affairs are managed according to your wishes, should you become incapacitated or otherwise unable to manage your own affairs. Navigating estate administration can be intricate, but with practical and timely advice, we aid executors in tasks such as asset collection and distribution, probate, property transmission, and providing essential estate and trustee legal advice. Whether the administration involves a will or is intestate, our approach ensures efficient completion of all necessary processes. Our expertise in estate litigation spans various jurisdictions, addressing challenges such as contesting wills for lack of testamentary capacity, seeking amendments for disappointed beneficiaries, and defending estates against claims for further provision. PDB Lawyers is committed to delivering practical solutions catered to each unique client situation, always prioritising timely and effective legal strategies.
