Securing Your Loved Ones' Future in Mount Gambier and Surrounds

Ensure your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are taken care of. 

Wills and Estate Planning

Planning for your family’s future after you’re gone is an essential legal task.

If you take the time now to make an effective legally binding will, you can save your family both stress and money in what will undoubtedly be a difficult time for them. A practical, lawfully binding will ensures that upon your death, your assets are distributed to whom you want in the manner you want.

Kyrimis Lawyers Can Help:

  • Advise you regarding estate and probate laws.
  • Write a will that suits you and your estate and the benefit of your loved ones and minimises the tax burden for your family.
  • Set up family and testamentary trusts.
  • Advise you with choosing executors and guardians.
  • Minimise the chance that your will is contested and subject to litigation.
  • Advise with estate tax (including capital gains) and financial concerns.
  • Safely store your will and other important legal documents.

At the same time as considering your will, we strongly recommend that you also put in place plans for any future incapacity through power of attorney and advance care directive (guardianship) documents, which will ensure that if you cannot make decisions about your finances, medical treatment or living arrangements, you can choose the person(s) you trust to make these decisions on your behalf.
