Wills & Estates

Our firm accepts instructions in all areas of Wills and Estates.

Wills

Most people recognise the wisdom of having their Will professionally drafted. Homemade Wills often prove troublesome even when prepared with the aid of a pre-printed form available from some law stationers. A mistake in drafting may be impossible to correct and at best may only be corrected through the intervention of the Supreme Court.

We can offer you an experience legal team in matters of:

• Basic and complex wills
• Estate Planning
• Testamentary Trusts

Estates

Davis Lawyers can provide you with efficient expert advice on the processes involved in the administration of deceased estates. In a large majority of cases, a process known as proving the will called obtaining “Probate” from the Supreme Court of Victorian is required. The documents required by the court are specifically prescribed and complex.

Davis Lawyers will obtain Probate for you and assist you in the subsequent finialisation of the estate, providing appropriate documentation on final distribution, inclusive of providing legal releases from all specific and residuary beneficiaries so as to provide protection for the executor.

We also can provide an experienced legal team in matter of estate litigation from claims against the estate by family members to claims against the executors.
