Wills & Estates

As we journey through life, we move through different life-stages including: education, employment, personal relationships, having & raising children, acquiring homes and wealth, retirement and ultimately, death.

At each stage our needs and objectives may be different but our desire to live well and leave a positive legacy doesn’t change.

While you can never know what’s just around the corner, effective planning can bring peace of mind.

Our lawyers can ensure you are well-supported in illness, retirement and old age as well as in control of how your assets are distributed once you pass on. Our expertise covers:

• Wills, estate planning, powers-of-attorney and guardianship
• Trusts including, family trusts, special disability trusts, and testamentary trusts
• Superannuation, independent self-managed superannuation funds
• Reverse mortgages
• Probate and administration

Testimonials

"Many thanks from my partner and I for all the care and attention to detail that everyone has given to assist us in finalising the estate [of our father]. It has certainly been a learning experience for my partner and I, as well as a stressful one made easier by the professionalism of the staff at Donovan Oates Hannaford. Our eternal thanks and best wishes to all."
