Wills, Powers of Attorney & Enduring Guardianship

Planning for your family’s future when you are gone is incredibly important.  Having a clear plan for your assets can save your family stress and money at a time that will be very difficult for them. Discussing your desired plans with an experienced lawyer can give you the security that your estate is protected, any unforeseen taxes avoided and anticipate any conflicts that can arise. We take the time to understand your family and your assets and ensure your plans are executed according to your wishes.

Shead Lawyers believes that a Will should be developed or updated whenever you experience life stage changes (purchase of property, partnering, having children, relationship changes, retirement etc) or changes in your asset pool.

While developing a plan for the future of your assets, we strongly recommend that you consider plans in the event of any future incapacity by executing Enduring Powers of Attorney and Guardianship documents. This will give you the peace of mind, in the event you are unable to make your own decisions, that your finances, living arrangements and medical treatment will be managed by the people you trust and in accordance with your wishes.
