We are experienced in preparing Wills and Testamentary Trusts tailored especially for your needs that will protect you and your loved ones.

 

You may however, be considering contesting a Will for example, if you believe there is a problem with a Will, there is more than one Will of the deceased, or adequate provision was not made for you. You may be able to ask a Court to decide whether a Will is valid or, which Will is valid depending on the individual circumstances and facts of your matter. First Choice Family Lawyers are here to assist you and ask a court to award you a greater share of the estate if there are good reasons to support your claim.

​

Testamentary Trusts
 

A Testamentary Trust is a Trust which is incorporated into a Will to address the specific circumstances of any beneficiaries. For example, a young child's inheritance can be included in a trust to ensure it's available to them at a later date.

​

A Testamentary Trust may be also useful for beneficiaries who:

 

• Suffer from a disability 

• Lack financial skill and are likely to waste their inheritance if it is paid to them directly

• Run a business or work in an occupation that exposes them to risks that may threaten their inheritance

• Or may be going through a breakdown of a defacto relationship or marriage and are at risk of having their inheritance included in the matrimonial asset pool which is to be divided between the parties in the Family Court.
   

Power of Attorney
 

Appointing an attorney gives them the legal authority to look after your financial affairs on your behalf, either for a particular period of time, or upon a medical practitioner confirming that you have lost the capacity to make decisions for yourself. 

​

You can appoint an attorney to act for you in a variety of circumstances such as an extended interstate or overseas trip, or for a time when you are no longer able to manage your own affairs.

Speak to Londi Gramelis or one of our friendly staff today about how we can assist you with the process.
 

Family Provision Claims
 

A Family Provision Claim is an application to the Supreme Court of New South Wales for a share or a larger share from the estate of a deceased person.
 

You can make a Family Provision Claim if you:
 

• Are an 'eligible person', and

• Have been left out of a will, or

• Did not receive what you thought you were entitled to receive
