If you own property or have assets, it is important that you have an up to date will. Your will is a legal document, stating how you would like your assets to be distributed in the event of your death.

It also lets you appoint an executor – a person who will manage the distribution of your assets (estate) after you have passed.

Without a will, your assets will be distributed using a formula set by law, which could result in your assets being given out to parties that you may not agree with.

While it may seem a daunting process, creating a will is relatively simple. Patrick Grimes & Co. Solicitors appreciate the personal nature of creating a will and offer one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to obtain a will in Lane Cove and the Sydney region.

Our Solicitors are very approachable, and can assist with:

• Drafting & updating wills
• Powers of Attorney
• Enduring Guardianship
• Applying for Probate
• Assistance with claims against wills & estates
• Deceased estate claims/defending deceased estates
• Estate planning administration
• Letters of Administration (in the event that a will is deemed invalid);
• Supreme Court estate litigation; and
• Assistance with the Family Provision Act 1982

We always recommend keeping your will up to date as it makes distributing your estate easier on your beneficiaries at what is a difficult and emotional time.
