Richard Morris TEP, Principal Solicitor, brings nearly two decades of legal experience, particularly in the realm of Succession Law. Originally hailing from Lake Macquarie, Richard spent a considerable portion of his career in the New England region of New South Wales before establishing his practice on the Mid North Coast in 2017, where he resides with his family. Richard's professional qualifications include a Masters in Applied Law with a focus on Wills and Estates. His expertise is further underscored by his membership as a Full Member of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP), an esteemed global organisation. Notably, Richard is among a select group of fewer than ten lawyers admitted to STEP outside of Sydney in New South Wales, illustrating his distinguished standing in the field. His practice encompasses a comprehensive range of Succession Law services, including the preparation and administration of Wills, Testamentary Trusts, and Enduring Powers of Attorney, as well as Appointments of Enduring Guardians and superannuation planning. Richard also handles complex matters involving Probate, Letters of Administration, and estate litigation, such as family provision claims and contested grants. In addition to his focus on Succession Law, Richard is adept in civil litigation and dispute resolution, while also providing strategic guidance on business and property law issues. His extensive experience and commitment to excellence make him a trusted advisor for clients seeking expert legal counsel in these areas.
