Wills & Estates

Wills and estates matters involve planning for the future and managing legal affairs following a death. Decisions made in this area can have long-term financial and personal consequences, making clear advice and careful structuring essential.

Crownmark Lawyers provides advice across wills and estates, assisting individuals and families with estate planning, succession matters, and estate administration. Our approach is structured and considered, focused on providing certainty, protecting assets, and ensuring intentions are properly documented and carried out.

Estate planning may involve preparing or reviewing wills, appointing decision-makers, addressing superannuation and asset ownership, or planning for blended families and vulnerable beneficiaries. We advise clients on how these matters interact and on structuring arrangements that are legally sound and practical.

Following a death, we assist executors, administrators, and beneficiaries with probate, estate administration, and related issues. Where disputes arise, we provide clear advice on options, risks, and pathways to resolution.

Where appropriate, agreed, fixed-fee pricing may be available through Crownmark Assured Pricing (CAP), allowing clients to proceed with clarity around scope and costs.
