Estate Planning

Estate planning is crucial for ensuring that your assets are managed and distributed according to your wishes after your passing. At Cleary Hoare, we guide clients through the intricacies of estate planning, helping to prepare Wills that safeguard assets from potential disputes and financial risks, while also considering the impact of family dynamics and business commitments. Our approach includes creating enduring powers of attorney, which are vital for managing one's estate effectively in the event of diminished capacity. In a landscape where over 50% of eligible Australians do not have a Will, our experienced team understands the importance of proactive estate planning. We focus on quarantining personal assets from business risks and integrating estate planning with financial and business development strategies, ensuring comprehensive protection and clarity for our clients and their families.
