Subdividing is an exciting yet complex transaction. Our team can guide you step by step – and even recommend a team of complementary professionals, planners and surveyors.

As with most things in life, it is better to be prepared - and we want to help you plan now for your later years. This could be advice on how to structure and protect your assets or assistance to transition from the family home to a retirement unit.  And what happens if you become unwell and cannot make decisions for yourself – appointing an attorney will ensure that someone you trust is ready to seamlessly step in.

The Visa process can be tricky and the rules are always changing. Our immigration lawyers know what needs to be done to get the quickest results.

What is your legacy? You may be thinking about what you leave the next generation, or maybe even the generation after that. Having a Will detailing your after-death wishes is crucial. Would you like a funeral? How would you like your assets distributed? These are important personal decisions which should not be left to another person to make.

When someone you are close to dies you must take time to grieve. When you are ready, we will be by your side helping you through the process of winding up their financial affairs. Whether it’s writing to the banks, insurance companies or investments, preparing the High Court documents, working with the beneficiaries, or dealing with any disputes – we will do it sensitively and pragmatically.

Creating a family trust can help you keep specific assets in the family for future generations. It may also help to protect those assets from future claims. Part of getting to know you, your family and your business is understanding how you can protect all three from adverse events. A trust may be part of the answer.
