Wills and Estates

Winn Legal's Wills and Estates team has evolved in direct response to our client's demands that we write their wills and powers of attorneys and that we assist them in their challenging appointments as executors of deceased estates.

Going travelling or about to undergo surgery - Winnlegal can create a sound and swiftly prepared will.

Entering into an aged care facility - you will often be asked to provide proof of an enduring power of attorney and/or a medical power of attorney. Many Australians do not have a will and where a person dies without one their estate is divided according to a statutory formulae.

Where a person dies without leaving a will there can be no charitable or personal bequests and should there be no relatives to leave the estate to - it will ultimately be claimed by the State.

Winnlegal is happy to draft wills and to provide safe storage without charge and to do so at a competitive price. If you are appointed executor we can assist in the application for probate and the organisation of the estate in accordance with the will and your instructions where the will requires them.

If you find that you are not a beneficiary to a will and believe that there are grounds for you to have received a share - or a greater share - than you have been allocated we are able to provide advice and representation in a Part IV Application. Our litigation team is well qualified to advise and conduct such claims.
